I would definitely keep the wood trim, carbon fiber is for a sportier look.

wood definitely gives it a more luxurious feel. the carbon fiber seems suits for a more sporty interior. the gs350 i think is an in between choice. you cant go wrong either way, as it does have a sportier feel (than the ES), but not as sport like as the IS. my personal opinion says keep the wood. its distinguished, very appealing, and calming to me.
