the shift gate surround (the piece that goes around the perimeter of the gated part with the PRNDL) on our 99 gs400 is badly scratched by previous owner. someone told me that he thought he saw this piece in chrome on a gs430. ours is just plain black plastic... is this true? if so i gotta start looking for one!

Wood veneer covered ash tray unit for center console from 2001+ model
years. 74101-30130 $221.99
That was in January of this year.
Replacing the black plastic shift bezel is about $8.00 The 2001+ chrome bezel is no longer offered as a separate item by Lexus. When one shows up around here it always attracts a lot of attention and the going price seems to be in the $75 range for one in good shape.
