As I understand it:

L - Simulated Wood Trim [basically, it's plastic]
LS - Real Wood
GS - Real Wood

What is the official name of the wood for the LS and GS Trim Levels?

Plus, I know that normally wood trim is applied to almost every part of the front passenger compartment, but for the rear on the coupe, there are 2 window switches. Is wood applied there too?

From woodtrim.com, they have 3 different types of wood:
Genuine Italian Burl
Genuine Walnut Burl
Genuine Brazilian Rosewood

Would any of these be similar to the LS or GS Trims? Are the LS/GS Trims use the same wood type or what?

The Italian burl and the Rosewood are too dark and don't really look anything like the stock wood trim. Walnut burl seems to be the closest match to the stock wood trim. I am waiting on a sample piece from woodtrim.com so I can compare walnut burl to the stock wood.

I posted this a few days ago in the preformace mods section... ChrisK and a few others said that the Top left (1st one) would match the LS wood trim the best. I gor this pic from www.wooddash.com

I got the sample of the walnut burl. The color matches good, but on the little sample I got the wood doesn't have those swirling patterns, just sorta straight lines.

That can't be right. Are you sure you got the right piece? The straight lines is that medium burl stuff.
