Default Replacing wood with aluminium in ES350?

Anybody know if there is an option for getting something other than wood in the ES350, or if there is anybody who is releasing a quality aftermarket replacement for the wood? I like the ES, but would prefer to have interior trim more similar to the IS...

Thanks.

Not yet. It will take about half a year to come out with a cheap plastic dash kit, and another year to get a good one, maybe even an OEM replacement...

i remember someone took out all the dash peices on his SC and had them paint it and clear it--the best way IMHO--since your using the factory peices), the aftermarket dash kits, i wouldnt recommend because it's an overlay, not a replacement.

maybe theres a way to integrate some aluminum once you have the peices out--but that could be some $$$$
