Default Can interior wood be retrofitted?

I'll be giving my trusty 90 LS 400 to my teenage son in the next 6 mo(lucky kid to have a Lexus for a 1st car).

I am looking for a replacement for myself(wifey can stick to her 93). I saw a 2000 "platnium" black on black that looked stunning with the black interior and the lighter birdseye wood. There is not much else that I really need in the platnium pkg other than this interior look.

Question, if I bought say a black on black 95-99 can I have the wood changed out for the birdseye? I realize this wood mean the steering wheel too, but I can get a 96 for a lot less $ than a 2000 Platnium. Have plenty of extra money for nice wheels too.

Bottom line is I really like the birdseye wood in black interior.

Default ES or LS?

D.K., for the 2000 Platinum package, are you talking about the ES or LS model? I knew there's a Platinum Edition for the LS, but I can't recall what year it's introduced. The 2000 ES 300 has a Platinum Edition (black/black, and a few other color combos), and I believe it can be had for thousands of $$$ less than the LS counterpart.

But who am I to explain since I'm an ES owner and you're an LS owner...

LS..................I think it may just be a matter of removing the wood pieces and replacing with the birdseye. And of course changing out the sterring wheel. I could definately be wrong though.
