Default Wood trim on dash & doors Swap

Has any one changed the light color wood for the dark or charcoal color wood that comes standard on the KDSS Sport model?

I would if I found it all for cheap enough! I miss my Sport.

The steering wheel is also different, but there are also aftermarket black options and that is easy to swap.

The wood trim is horrifically expensive from Lexus. It's hard enough to find a GX470 in a junkyard, let alone a Sport -- what a lot of people seem to do is vinyl wrap the brown wood to black. If you do find a good source for Sport trim pieces, let me know, haha.

Edit: The trim to the left and right of the stereo are gray plastic on the Sport models - those are relatively affordable from Lexus.
