I have searched high and low for the wood trim piece above the glove box and can't come up with anything under $600.00 (including ebay, salvage parts).
I have read that peeling is an issue, however, mine is cracked. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could find this elusive part? Are the tan and black interiors the same shade of wood?
I have a 2009 LX. The part number is (i think) 55476-60080.

Was looking to replace the cracked piece in my wife's 2011 but thought the price was crazy, and I know it would probably be off in color. Ended up taking the piece to the upholstery shop and had it matched to the arm rest material. Paid $120.
Nice, creative solution. Along the same lines, I was going to suggest taking it to your local vocational wood-shop. They are always looking for new projects. I bet they would have refinished it to look nearly as good as new. Happy you found a solution that works for you- now you can say you have a custom ride. It looks sharp as well!
I wasn't too heartbroken in not getting an OEM replacement piece since there is no wood trim on the driver side. The $120 I paid included cost to remove the veneer and clean up the surface on the plastic backing. If the veneer was cracked instead of just warp as in my case, I doubt it can be refinished as it is rather thin.
I remember the dealer had a hard time in matching a replacement for the piece on the door when the vehicle was new, that piece was lifted and they had sampled 4 pieces before finding one that's close to the rest.
I bit the bullet on the new trim piece (still bitter... told the wife it cost me 1/3 so she would let me slide it past her). It was $650 at monster discount parts.
wish I would have seen the wrap earlier - I think the tan would have looked alright also.
I've been wondering for 5 Lexuses now. Each accumulated some scratches and gouges in the trim, and even with minimal scratches a white background is exposed. Is the white backing plastic, or is it wood that a surface stain has not penetrated? I always assumed that the wood trim was just a painted faux wood surface over a molded plastic base. Is the trim really wood?
And if all the trim is real wood, is it a thick piece, or is it just a thin veneer over a plastic base. And if it's veneer, how thin is it? And what about the "wood" steering wheel?
