I believe they have 3 different types:
  1. Dark wood
  2. Light wood (I think you have)
  3. Grey wood

walnut and golden birds eye maple are the woods listed and for any car it is all supposed to be from the same tree. possibly your steering wheel has been replaced? I have seen the grey wood but only on UL's

It's very common for the wood on the steering wheel to fade over time from the sun. A lot of cars are much worse than yours.

That's what I've got going on.. The top of my wheel is getting bleached, but the short section at the 6 o'clock position still looks pretty decent.

I try to use a sun shade any time I leave the car outside...

Looks similar to my interior and I don't have the perforated seats. I do have Black leather, though.

Same tree?
All the center console parts are made of plastic as well as the "wooden" strips near the air vent inlets on the dashboard.

It's real wood, just laminated, not solid. And it is supposed to come from the same tree and the grain is matched to be symmetric in the car.
