I can tell you that my '99 2GS was definitely real wood... I can't vouch for ALL models.

Just a different color stain... I know the 2GS is real wood because mine started discoloring.

My 99 4runner even has real wood. A lot different in look/feel but under a super thick clear coat there is a thin layer of wood. My door piece, the clear peeled off. Well chipped then peeled off. Now a question is how about a small hole that was drilled in the center piece of the Lexus? I'm not having good luck finding a used replacment piece near me at the junk yards and getting really annoyed with it by my shifter.
