As PureDrifter told you, there is no code for the wood trim on a 98 LS400. It was listed in the original specs only as "Walnut Interior Trim". It is not like there were choices in wood color on the 98 and 99 LS - there was only one wood and color.

Good luck! I have bad news. I have a 98ls also. I went to the dealer to ( with vin #) to replace my leather one for a new wood ****. And was told there is no way he could match the color. I took the chance and ordered one. It came a little darker than the car, doesn't look to bad!! I guess the sun had faded the wood to some degree.

I'm curious... how much did that set you back ? I seem to recall the dealer cost of these things being outrageous.

To the OP, there is one on Ebay right now I think with a BIN of $139 IIRC. This one had black leather trim I believe.
