Console Wood Trim Replacement
Hi all,
I am new to this board - I have to say that so far it is great. I have a '94 GS300 with cracked wood around the shifter (sounds common). I was looking through the posts but most of the sources/info was old. Does anyone have a good source for replacement wood? The local dealer quoted something like $600 to me - wow. Also, is this an easy thing to replace?
Any input on this topic would be much appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with a particular vendor? I find replacements available at places like 'Exotic wood dash' etc. that say it is OEM pattern. I am not sure if this is that cheap sticker stuff or not.
Lexus quoted me $600 for a NOS/OEM replacement. Seems kind of high to me. It is a flat plank after all.

Guidance needed on replacement of shifter wood trim
Hey all,
I have the replacement OEM wood shifter trim piece in my hands. It came with glue and looks great. But...how do I get the old one off cleanly and get the new one stuck down perfectly? Do I have to take the shift console apart? Any help would be most appreciated. Been a while since I had to fix anything on my '93 but its still goin' strong. Only 122k on it!
