Default wood for the center console ...

I have a 2005 LS430 WITHOUT NAVIGATION and I'd like to get a wood cover for the center console to surround the climate controls, vents and the radio.

All I see online are entire kits 27 -30 pieces for the LS with navigation

Anyone know when I can get this ?
I really don't want/need the whole kit either, just the center console part.

I am trying to stay away from cheap plastic eBay junk, I want it to match and look good !

Customautotrim.com is a place to look at. Also, typically you have to buy the kit. All pieces wont be used but, I'd call the contact info on the site were you look and inquire about this. The wood kits tend to have w/o or w to indicate with or with out buddy. So, it's likely they will have the kit with navigation and without and sell it as a whole. Inquire about this when you search for your if you use customautotrim.com or any other site sir, call them and ask if you can get the set without for less $.

May not be able to but, worth asking. For the most part you may have to buy the whole set sir. LGNM

also think about if you are covering up the writing for what each button does you will have to guess which button is which

thanks usermel. yes, I went to their site, and they say they have non-navi units but only show units for the navi dash .... I don't want to order and get the wrong item.

Probably not going to do this as no one sells just the center console patrs separately, just a full kit for the entire car.

Hey Stu buddy, just saw your response. I certainly respect your concerns. That said, I my self purchased a few kits that had extra pieces. The thing is they are pre-laser cut out and those who sell them just send the whole kit because of cost. If say you want just the non-na unit, they charge for the whole regardless due to cost.those kits tend to coem as whole kits but, that said, if you want a just certain pieces make a call and see if they will do it for you. Some businesses are more flexible than others and may cut you some slack fellow member.

Certainly I feel your concerns and desire to leave it alone for now but, call and see how they or if they can help you out buddy! The woodkits give a look to the interior that's so clean bro. I have birds-eye maple in my LS430 and its amazing! LGNM

I sent a few places emails already ... no one replied. Obviously its the whole kit or nothing, which I sort of understand. Its not a must have thing anyway. I am still VERY happy that its almost perfect.
