Default cracked wood grain

Hey, i got in my car today and found my woodgrain around my gear shifter to be cracked....dunno how that happened but it sucks.

Does anyone have and willing to sell me just that woodgrain piece that goes around the gear shifter!! Thanks...let me know

P.S. The reason i posted this here and not the classifieds is because the majority of first gen owners look at this thread. I will also post this in the classifieds. Thanks!!!

still kinda spendy.. 140$$ and all i need is the one piece. I was hopin someone might have it.

Is there a kind of glue/epoxy i can use to glue my pieces back down but when i do deside to replace the woodgrain, i'll be able to get rid of the substance. BTW Whats under the wood grain on around the shifteR?

I have an aftermarket replacement in mine and I believe it was from veneerz.com. I got it as a gift, but veneerz lists the piece at $52.

It is a metal plate , if you are going to remove the whole piece that is the hard way . I had the same problem last year and I bought a new kit and just put it on top of the old piece , came out perfect

Default Ebay

FOR SOME REASON THE LEXUS FACTORY WOOD ON THE SHIFT PLATE DETERIORATES, DISCOLORS OR CRACKS. WE CAN HELP. THIS BURLWOOD OVERLAY WILL FIT RIGHT OVER THE OLD ONE AND MATCHES THE FACTORY COLOR. EASY TO INSTALL, JUST REMOVE ANY OBVIOUS BROKEN PIECES , CLEAN AND STICK. NO MESSY GLUE. SUPER HIGH GLOSS FINISH, FITS 92 93 94 95 96 97 GS 300 ,YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. WHY PAY THE DEALER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THANKS! it's about $100.00

They're normally around $60 including shipping, so $100 is WAY too much

$60 for just the gear shifter bezel! Search google for gs300 shifter woodgrain or try veneerz as link suggested. Yes the whole kit will come with climate control, usually, however nothing for the metra kit only the stock stereo.
