I really don't know if my wood piece is like that.I've never noticed anything.
I do love the wood look.

Actually, the wood is thinly sliced, and applied on a brick-red-colored plate (which is seen on the edge of the wood trim, which is normal on every car). Everyone's wood trim is not made of a block of wood -- it's a thin piece of wood applied to a colored backing.

They all have those lines. But the wood is real. In fact, Lexus claims that the pieces of wood on the driver and passenger doors is cut from the same sheet. Hmmm

MY 07 does not have that, but if it did, I would not worry. I am more concerned about the thin laquer coating which scratches easily. I put some Zymol wax on it, and it is as good as new for a bit. I do love the wood interior. Without it, that silver plastic cheapens the interior and I would do a carbon fiber kit. The wood really accents the black interior nicely.

It's good to know that I am not alone on this. It may not be as noticeable and I am not expecting it to be a huge chunk of wood but I would like it to be perfect. I don't notice it as much but when I do, it does feel like a cheap addition and when other see it they would suspect it wasn't real wood. I paid top dollar for the car and I just want to get the best out of it, even if it is as small as this.

Thanks for all the replay, I guess I can consider myself in good company as an upside.

It's kind of hard to believe that yours doesn't have it. Got any pictures?
