Any new kits to replace the Washi Aluminum?

I am looking for a kit to replace the Washi Aluminum interior on my G37S. I just think it looks cheesy in a $45K car. I would prefer a full replacement at a reasonable price....< $600. I would prefer quality wood, but I would do Carbon Fiber also. I would prefer a replacement to the overlays available.

If there are no direct replacements, what is the best overlay kit out there and where can I get it?

IvoryGT makes a full CF replacement, but it is alot more than 600.

Infiniti just came out with the Obi Silk that I really like.

Seriously, if you think aluminum is cheesy for 45K car, then any overlay STICK ON is 100 times worse. I don't mind if you don't buy anything at all from me, but stay away from sticking anything over the OEM trim. On a side note, we can do any wood finish instead of carbon fiber if that's your thing.

slate blue would just be a stain over the wood. natural poplar wood or something like dark cherry is my kinda color.

The problem for me is that my car is a lease and if I turn in the Washi core parts I am sure IFS will cream me for a CF interior. Also, as much as I dislike the Washi, I don't dislike it to the tune of $1,200, even though I think the CF inserts are great and a lot better than stock.
