Default Wood trim on dash & doors Swap

Has any one changed the light color wood for the dark or charcoal color wood that comes standard on the KDSS Sport model?

I would if I found it all for cheap enough! I miss my Sport.

The steering wheel is also different, but there are also aftermarket black options and that is easy to swap.

I for got about the steering wheel but I could live with that small amount if I could change out the rest.

The wood trim is horrifically expensive from Lexus. It's hard enough to find a GX470 in a junkyard, let alone a Sport -- what a lot of people seem to do is vinyl wrap the brown wood to black. If you do find a good source for Sport trim pieces, let me know, haha.

Edit: The trim to the left and right of the stereo are gray plastic on the Sport models - those are relatively affordable from Lexus.
