If this means the dark gray wood trim then I can say goodbye to my plan to upgrade.

Or you could just get a chrome tape, a can of paint(for the vents) and a gel ink pen(for the stitching).

It will be almost as good

Personally love the look of my ’08 with sport package..

Everything matches the darkish silver color, which beautifully highlights the black leather..

The real Carbon Fiber would cost triple... that's why...

The Dark wood is a nice touch, but my Sport Pkg gunmetal interior trim is perfect for me....

Maybe when I get a GS or LS, I will look into the wood...

No, it's integrated into the face.
