Default Changing Wood Interior Trim?

I'm looking for options for changing the "wood" interior trim in a 2007 IS 350. Don't like the color. Any thoughts on how to do this? Brushed aluminum or graphite would be okay.

Thanks.

BUMP 2 THE TOP!!!

Anyone have pics of their aluminum trim? I want to switch the wood out, but don't want the cf look.

Any ideas, thoughts, etc.........

I have called dealerships all day (so cal) and they are telling me they cant get the aluminum trim. wtf.

I'm willing to pay for aluminum trim if I can find it.

Someone please help me and let me know if I'm just wasting my time. Thanks.

As an original owner of the silver trim (now covered with black CF), be aware it is pretty plain. Dull finish. Lexus could do better for those that like non-wood trim.

I hate OUR wood trim because its so fragile and the silver trim looks very very cheap and the overlay CF trim still shows some woodtrim outlines.........Anyone know a good site that custom makes different types of trim?

I own the OEM silver trim and ya...I kinda wish we did get the wood trim cuz it is kinda cheap :s. I am considering the CF overlay, the darker one opposed to the lighter silver one. It is pretty expensive though at 300 bucks, and although fitment is supposed to be pretty good, they say you still see some of the trim underneath, which isnt as big of a deal with my trim, but I am a particular kinda guy. Anyways, hopefully some more mods are made for our cars like more trims, so we have more selection. Brushed aluminum would be nice...
