Yet would you help hide the body...?!

Best bet... salvage yard, or eBay.

Honestly, didn't even know there was black wood trim. Are you speaking of the trim strips on the upper door interior trim? Any google images you can share?

And what is your C/TR (color/trim) codes? They'll be on the build plate.

i was in a md junk yard and saw some Blackwood but since it was hot and I wasn’t interested, I left it there.

Almost bought a GS300 Sport Design with blackwood interior. I opted for a GS430 instead. I do still really want the blackwood though.

I would also like to know. I'm not about to spend $1500 for each wood piece importing them from a website that actually sells them in Japan. Sometimes the whole set pops up but right now it seems difficult to find the black wood trim on Ebay that isn't just one piece or two pieces and nothing else.
Just hunt and buy piece buy piece if you have to honestly. I would prefer it all arriving the same time but I almost have no choice myself.

It would be cheaper to buy this car - swap out your interiors and then sell the car.
2002 Lexus GS300 SportDesign
It is less than $6k

How about just wrapping the interior pieces you've got? I seem to recall past threads where folks have done that and/or painted or stained their current set.

Dave’s got the easiest way to go. Unless you get luck and find someone that doesn’t know what they have

There is all sorts of quality vinyl out now that if applied properly can look even better than that black wood trim. Although I too would do bad things for some black wood trim for my black interior sport design.
