Were to get part?
I am trying to find the wood trim piece that is the gps surround, that is on the celsior as well as the wood trim on the sun shades. The gps surround is the most important though anyone know were to get them? I do not want to do a dash trim kit it will not blend correctly and look off.

No guarantee that it will match your current wood grain, or even color, because wood grains are unique, and color fades over time, especially from light. http://www.wooddash.com/category/LEXUS_Dash_Kits_LS430

You would have to replace all of the wood veneer interior with a matched set (if you could find it) to achieve what you are looking for.

OEM didn't make wood trim for the areas you want additional wood trim. Moreover, even if there was "OEM" additional wood veneer trim, it wouldn't match for the reasons posted: color fades in light over time, and all wood grain is different. Example: you can buy an OEM accessory box to replace the cigarette lighter / ash tray in the console next to the shifter. The accessory box comes with a wood veneer lid. You can order the accessory box with the color code of your wood veneer interior ostensibly to "match" your wood veneer. However, the wood grain on the cover of the accessory box will NOT match your wood grain > colors and wood grain won't be a perfect match.

Well, since it was not a Lexus offering, perhaps start with someone who sells Toyota JDM parts? Maybe there's an importer in Japan that sells used parts? I'm sure someone is importing those types of things??

They didn't offer it in the U.S. market ... JDM is a whole different offering. Post pics when you install it so we can see how well it matches.
