I'm getting ready to purchase a LS430 and I'm shopping around. I've narrowed my search down, however, like many LS430s with Nav, I do not like the fading that is usually found on the bottom of the nav screen on the grey plastic trim. I have searched with no success on replacement plastic trim.

Questions:
Does anyone have a link or know where I can buy just the plastic trim aroudn the navigation and side buttons? Or does the entire navigation unit come with all that, which is what I have been seeing on eBay?

Is there a grey plastic paint made for that specific trim color that could easily cover it up and make it look nice? Recommended or no?

The car is an awesome bargain but someone put all that wood trim crap EVERYWHERE, on the nav console, the door of the glove compartment, the rear air vent, the switches to the left of steering wheel, and any and everywhere else! It's going to cost me some $$$$ to take it all off and replace because underneath will be sticky adhesive stuff...

Any suggestions or recommendations guys?

 

Yes, skip cars with "wood trim crap" which is also a method used to hide damage.

 

I have seen that bezel for sale somewhere, cant remember but eBay might have a few vendors. I don't think I would paint it.
If you don't like the fake wood trim I think I'd try to remove a piece (like on the rear air vent) and just use the goo-off stuff and carefully remove the adhesive.
