Has anyone here special ordered or changed their light wood to dark other than those with gray interiors? If so, I would appreciate any pics to show clients.

You do know that Lexus won't allow their customers to special order their own desired wood trim color to match their interior color of choice right ? They just won't do anything else other than Lexus' own predetermined combination . . .

Just a small reminder that Lexus is really Toyota. A mega-conglomerate auto company without the history or culture to understand the art of the old-time craftsmen that made the likes of Mercedes Benz the icon that they are today. Rather, a Japanese ripoff of old world automotive artisans.

First of all, SPECIAL ORDER COLOR COMBINATIONS CAN BE DONE. The fact is, most of you purchased your vehicles from salesman/dealerships who were only trying to move inventory. As a VIP/Fleet Account Manager, many of my clients request special order vehicles. WHATEVER A CLIENT REQUESTS, I CAN DELIVER. If you want a pink IS250 with a purple interior, it'll cost you, but I can have it done.
As far as the comments about Lexus vs. BMW and Mercedes, it is useless to convince the untrained, undescerning client of the advantages. One would only need open RobbReport, Forbes, or Millionaire magazine to see that Lexus has REPLACED BMW and Mercedes as status symbols. For example, I buy custom suits that cost upwards of 5 times Hugo Boss or Armani, however, there will always be people who say, "its not an Armani?" To play devil's advocate, other than the IS350 vs. BMW 3er, BMW currently outperforms Lexus as far as handling. If you want an unreliable, uncomfortable riding and driving car, that will outperform anything on the road in corners, get the BMW. If you just won the lottery and have not been following the declining quality and build of Daimler-Chrysler (Mercedes), and all you know is Mercedes as a name, buy yourself a Mercedes. Lexus is intended for the uncompromising individual who wants the overall "best vehicle available." Believe me, if you have the coin, I can have an LS460 built that will have more features than a Maybach or Rolls-Royce. It is those who are not in the know who keep Lexus owners in an exclusive club. Anyway, from someone who could drive or sell anything he wants, Lexus is the way to go, bottom line.

Knowing that the wood trim for all Lexus models is pre selected to all Leather colors (Grey leather w/ Black Birdeye wood, Black leather w/ Red Walnut wood only etc), how are you able to put in this special order?
And why are you able to do this, and the regular buying public can not?
Or is Lexus of Towson (I assume thats the dealership you work for) going to an aftermarket supplier to create these color combinations?

The color combos are listed for the normal configs that dealers get that you have to choose from if you walk up and ask for a specific exterior color

yes to answer your question...i've seen black leather with black maple wood with black exterior...damn nice!!!!...and it was all OEM trims from the factory...it can be done...it's just a matter of if you are willing to wait and pay a little more...
Lexus is all about customer service remember...
just because it isn't on the menu doesn't mean the chef can't make it....heard of special request? haha =D
