i have an '08 g35 that i would like to trade for an '12 in the near future but i have a question about the wood package. when i bought my car the wood package was $600 just as it is for the '12 but it also included the panel where the window switches are, driver side front and rear, passenger side front and rear. did infiniti quit including this feature or is it a dealer option now?

 

are you talking about the stick on kit or the OEM wood trim?

 

i'm guessing that they are oem because the dealership installed them and the pieces actually have plastic tabs that lock them in place. i found this out when i upgraded the front speakers.

 

I have a 2012 coupe with the OEM wood package. The window switch area does not have it. Just plastic. $600 doesn't buy much wood these days...!

 

^^^ Got that right!

 

gotta agree, these days wood are very expensive no matter in automobive or wood flooring.

just a side note, my house just got remodeled with engineering wood, (true brazilian cherry wood) however dealer mentioned this year would be the last year they will cut the trees due there are newer environmental rule and regulations on how many trees you could knock down per year.. which is, to me acceptable

 

i should have mentioned that i know that the panels for the window switches are made of plastic. i haven't seen any that actually match the darker wood of the '11 and '12 models though. i'm trying to stay away from the dealership until i'm ready to get serious so i haven't asked them directly.
