Default Black wood trim

Anyone know where I can purchase black wood trim pieces (center, steering, and dash). I currently have the dark red and am thinking about switching them. Hell...anyone want to trade?

i haven't heard of any. if anything, i think trading the steering part would be the most painful, since the steering wheel color is different

^^^ agreed.

For the steering wheel, you probably would have to trade the airbags and then re-wrap the steering wheel in color-matched leather. Good luck!

You can send out the pieces including the steering wheel Unique Whips style and have them done in any finish you want. They are faux finishes but they look every bit as good as the real thing.

The Red Wood Or Standard Grain Looked To Played Out. Very Redundant. I Thought The Black Wood Looked Much More Unique And Almost Aftermarket. The Negative Side Is The Fact That You Lose The Contrast With The Black Leather On The Steering Wheel. Im Still Pissed That Lexus Doesnt Put More Wood On The Dash
