No, you're going to have to buy a kit like this one to get that part:


This one was on ebay but a few different companies sell them.

The panel gaps are too large, and it doesn't look like it's the same wood pattern as the stock.

I purchased that item off eBay and was generally happy with it. I did not put on the little rectangle piece that goes over the silver piece right around the shifter or the piece that goes over the radio face. I liked the silver finish on those pieces. I did not like the plastic on the rest of the center console and really like the wood finish there. I found the match to be very good and the parts were actually real wood veneer, not fake plastic pieces. The fit is not as good as if it were a replacement for those center console pieces vs. being applied over the top of them.

Overall I really like the look of the additional wood there. It was a bit pricey as I paid about $180 and only used three of the pieces; the large part around the shifter, the cupholder cover and the little piece that fits behind the cupholder. The piece that came with my kit to cover the radio would have fit fine but they had put lettering "Acura" on it and the quality of the letter was not good at all and the letter could not be removed. This didn't bother me as I never planned on using that part.

If you like the look of the wood it is a good option, if you are happy with the amount of wood accents that are already there, then pass on it.
