Question Re:Aluminum accent..

Looking to buy the RXH...smoky granite mica or brandywine mica..but I want the aluminum trim....all dealers told me that Lexus doesn not make them anymore..only wood trim is available...has to be special order?....

Is it possible to get the aluminum trim as an aftermarket piece for the RX?...if so, where can I get it?

thanks.

Funny... people here hated the aluminium trim and wanted the wood trim instead! Guess you should've bought it 2 years ago?? heh.

I would contact http://www.exoticwooddash.com/ and look at dash kits it mentions brushed aluminum or this link had several colours available.

I have nothing to do with them at all but I did consider purchasing wood for my Prius from them.

I hope your not serious about this. IMO, the aluminum trim is not worth the look, and it makes the RX-400h look degraded. IMO, just go with the wood trim, wouldn't recommend you going for the aluminum. But, then again what ever floats your boat.

Good luck on your purchase,
