Swap for Wood interior?
Does anyone know where there would be a place to buy a wood interior for my stock silver? I've searched both google and this forum and I haven't found anything. Ideas?
Edit: traded with a member here. Thanks everyone for the offers/help!

I've bought a wood dash kit from wooddashexperts.com many years ago, and the kit was a perfect fit, and was still in great looking condition (after 6 years) when I sold the car. It wasn't real wood, but it looked like it was.
Some kits do use real wood, and some are just plastic precisely colored to resemble wood. Make sure you know exactly what you want (real wood or plastic-wood) when you order. Real wood should be a bit more $$$ than plastic-wood.

As far as aftermarket replacements, I'd far rather go with a trade, since I know the fitment will be exact and it will still be a lexus part. Also I did see wooddash.com, thanks. Frankly though replacing my dash with aftermarket stuff seems kinda scary.
As far as trading, I have gotten some PMs but I haven't gotten any pics or anything yet, so I'm still browsing, you could say. I'll post pictures of the quality of my silver trim for your guys benefit. Anyone know how to take off the pieces by the window controls? I know how to do the center console, but I can't seem to find a DIY for removing the window pieces. And clearly scratching them would be disadvantageous.
Also, I have heated but not ventilated seats. Does anyone know if that's a separate piece from the center console? I heard it wasn't, but it looks like it is?

The aftermarket dash kits look like they are just overlays that stick to the stock silver dash via an adhesive backing. They also seem to cover a lot more areas than the OEM wood dash.

I'm in NY. But hey, it's worth a shot. I've been looking to trade since I got my car.
