Only one wood trim is available in the USA. It is called 'Linear Black Shadow' wood interior trim and is available only with the Luxury trim option with black or black-creme interiors with leather seat rim. Not available with the F Sport. This wood trim may be viewed in pictures of the Luxury optioned interior featured in both the on-line and carbohydrate versions of the NX brochure. The Black Linear Shadow looks a lot like black walnut and has a very appealing appearance in sunlight. Frankly, I think that its appearance beats the heck out of the other door trims, but that is IMHO.

I believe Dark Umber is a plastic finishing piece, I don't think it's real wood. Other markets have the option for Bamboo, but not in the US.
I circled the areas in red. They're on each door, and above the passenger side airbag. I picked the creme leather to show you, because I have the black leather with this wood trim, and even when you're in the car you don't really notice it to be honest. It doesn't stand out like in other models... However like Koetsu said above, it is very nice in sunlight. You see more of the silver metallic tones "pop" so to speak.
Lexus said they're going away from woods to attract a younger buying demographic. It certainly is a departure from the cherry stained walnut that is ALL over my ES

I went to Lexus' international site and did some digging. The NX has only two wood options. The Linear Black Shadow (Shimamoku) and bamboo, which isn't for available in North America.
Dark Umber and Aluminum trims are listed as "films" meaning they're just an applique. It's not even called Dark Umber internationally. From the pattern, you can obviously tell up close it resembles Kevlar more than wood. Still nice though!

If anyone is interested, Lexus put out this video showing how a linear black shadow steering wheel takes 38 days to be made, and how's it's done! It's really nifty

Hahaha old person wood I've never actually seen Dark Umber up close. When I bought mine, I was in a similar one with the Luxe package, and an F-Sport with the aluminum trim... Although I have to say, I really dig the Linear Black shadow.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Linear Black Shadow wood is not the same as the Shimamoku wood they use exclusively in the LS. Therefore, this extensive process of making the wood for the car depicted in the video does not apply to the wood used in the NX. They would only use that level of craftsmanship for parts in higher end models.
