Re: Wood Trim
I have it, factory, and it says it's "Genuine bird's-eye maple" it does look real, no two pieces have the exact same grain, and it seem hard, I doubt they would claim it was genuine and it be plastic, it is far superior to any "aftermarket" wood trim I have seen!

Re: Wood Trim
I have the wood and it is beautiful, and feels great too. I am pretty certain that it is real birdseye maple. I think it looks especially great in direct sunlight - it just lights up like it is on fire! With the Graphite interior it really spices things up and provides a nice counterpoint to all the black leather and plastic. If you can't tell. I really like the wood package. Well worth the little bit of additional cost.

Re: Wood Trim
I have the sports suspension package. I know that the wood trim isn't available from the factory. I figured I could order the Wood trim from the dealer and order it but I was told that it won't work with the sports suspension. I don't understand why. Can anyone explain? Also is anyone aware of a high quality (ie real wood) aftermarket package that will work? I have seen the cheap looking lament ones that are available and that isn't what I am looking for.
Thanks

Re: Wood Trim
I have the wood trim with the Willow interior and it's a nice combination also. I bought the wood veneer trim (33-piece set) on eBay from the OEM supplier for about $200 shipped. The kit does not include the door handle pieces or the shifter, which I got through Everything Infiniti for about $160 shipped as I recall. I had to inquire because I didn't see it in their on-line catalog but they did get it for me. The pieces (aftermarket and dealer-provided) matched perfectly and it seems that everyone who gets in the car notices it and comments very favorably. The pieces are molded plastic that have a genuine wood veneer laminated to it.

Re: Wood Trim
Sorry, I don't have a digital camera. It does look great though. Check with an Infiniti dealer to see one so equipped on his lot. The aftermarket pieces I have look exactly the same.

Re: Wood Trim
Is the veneer molded as well, or is it just flat? Like on the console area, I had been sent a sample some time back of a "veneer", but they said all the pieces were flat, also the sample they sent, felt "cheap", you could leave a fingernail mark in it, you can't do that with the factory trim!

Re: Wood Trim
Go over to FreshAlloy and contact Grubbs Infiniti out of Dallas/Ft. Worth area. They have an excellent reputation for customer service through the mail and internet. When I was shopping G's, I looked at one with the Sport Package and told the dealer I didn't like the interior trim and wanted the wood instead. He offered to pull the wood peices off of another car he had in stock and install them in the G with sports package so I am sure it can be done. The downside is that you will still have that faux aluminum center stack and I am not sure how the wood will look with that. I wound up buying a non-sport with Nav, premium, xenons,and wood.
If I read correctly over on Fresh Alloy, the NEW wood package is going to be Rosewood. I will have to go to a dealership and check that out when the '05's get here. I will post a link to a few pics I have of my wood package. I can never get photo's to show up here on the server. Be sure to blow the picture up to full/original size so you can really appreciate it!
