I'm always liked the matte finished wood, I think it's called open pore walnut.
But it only seem to be available in a beige (Ecru?) interior. Does anyone know any info on where the matte wood is used, is it years or trim or just Ecru

I think this is the one. The wood different from the gloss ones, but I have not seen it in other interior colors. there should be a color combo in certain years brochure.

I'm almost certain it was only available with beige interiors. All other interiors have polished darker wood.

They should have every MY brochure.

I hate the open pore wood. It's so easy to scratch and it fades in the sun. I bought a used 2017 LX and the center dash was like 10 shades lighter, I ended up buying a replacement for the console on sale from Lexus. When doing my LX search I never saw the open pore walnut with a dark interior, only with the ivory one, but I'm open to being proven wrong. I got the itch to 'upgrade' again this weekend and went looking for 2020 models with the TRD sport kit. Sadly the one I saw was beat to hell inside and out, people love to mistreat this $110k vehicle it seems.


I ended up putting a stupid skin on it to make it look shiny but you can see the new part is super dark

this was how I got it, super faded

The color it should be, as the door was not in the sun apparently per the previous owners

Walnut is a generally a heavy, tight grain wood how do they make it "open pore" exactly? Special tree? I have some walnut stock it's amazing stuff very strong, beautiful when finished with clear lacquer no need to alter the colour.

I think they just finished it leaving the grain. The gloss finish wood is almost like epoxy so no grains.

There must be some walnut with open grain, what I have is as tight as almost any wood out there you can sand it to be like glass if you want.

It does seem my center piece is a bit lighter than the door ones too. I use a front window shade now when parked so it's not too bad.
