Limited wood grain trim - different shades?

[Ghostrider]

I obtained some of the trim pieces for a 2001 Limited. I still need the radio bezel. Are there noticable differences in the trim between years or did the supplier pretty much use the same shade of wood grain?

'99-00 Limited trim is a lighter shade than '01-02, which is darker. It's pretty noticeable, and the mismatch would bother me (especially because the radio bezel butts up right against the shifter bezel).

If you're swapping the entire center bezel assembly, there may be some subtle differences in the center switch assembly (different lights in the "passenger" air bag and security area).

Also, the '01-02 center vents are different from the earlier years. They are beefier and have additional reinforcements, but are a duller shade of black than the older vents.

Thanks- the stuff I have is from a 2000 not a 2001 (above) and the one I have found is a 1999 so I guess I am OK there.

Yup, that should be good!
