Rx300 Interior Trim

[kitty]

Just changed my IS300 sports cross for a new RX300 which I'm very please with, BUT - the wooden style trim does nothing for the car IMHO, I tried so see if I could get the aluminum trim as the RX400h, but it doesn't come as an option.

Is there anywhere where I can get some aftermarket or can you buy RX400h trim anywhere?

thanks

Search eBay USA But make sure they do RHD Most of them do.

I did try the worldwide eBay, thinking there might also be something from japan, (even carbon fibre to 'tone' the interior down) but still no joy :duh:

My delaer (Lexus Glasgow) had someone that could cover the wood with leather...maybe something you could consider ?

Also, doubt trim from LHD cars will work on a RHD car, switches etc in wrong places ??

never thought of leather - that would be a lot easier on the door trims not too sure about the dash.

might have to get some s/h dash parts before and try.

thanks

No idea how they do centre consule bit... you can always contact Lexus Glasgow and see what they say. Also guessing it will not be that cheap !

I also hate wood, though it is growing on me...slowly... I would have opted for aluminium / carbon given choice..

Look chaps, enjoy your wood, it looks classy, and remember, if you had wood on a BMW it would cost you extra!

ahhhh... but I would not buy a BMW with wood...last BMW had a lovelly silver sluminium cube trim.... way nicer than wood !

Point is at least in a BMW you get a choice....and standard is not wood (which suits me)

Sorry the 'plastic' wood does nothing for me - the RX400h interior is far more classy - shame it's not an option for the 300 - once I find a way to improve with CF, aluminuim or leather I let everyone know.

Might be worth asking this question in teh RX area ??...just in case someone there has missed the post...and has a solution ?

Not used them personally, but got the link from this site in the past, so somebody here may be able to vouch for them!
