Chrome exactly as you said..good eye. Hope it doesn't feel too cold to the touch.

I think as long as it's the same kind of wood trim offered by Lexus, I don't think there will be significant difference in color that's noticeable even if not from the same tree. Maybe wood pattern between different panels may show some inconsistencies if not from the same tree, but I don't think that's too significant for a small curled up suface area like the shift ****.
Like other mods such as adding an aftemarket body kit, you will not get the exact factory paint from Lexus on the kit & may not be a 100 % color match, but the difference is usually subtle enough that most people won't even notice.

I still have the 02 ES DVD and remembered hearing them talking about the wood. They stated that the wood in the car comes from the same tree, if one piece is damaged like in production from the car, all the wood every piece is taken out and replaced. thats what i like to hear, thats attention to detail as well, and thats just for the ES, so im sure the LS has that same thing goin for it

but then with that said, i have seen a lot of wood before. like andrew said, you mix them and most of the time, you can't really tell the difference
