Default Need Help finding a shift ****

I know its a long shot but i really love how the Infiniti Q45 **** feels like. I don't want to risk paying for a **** that doesn't fit on my 00 GS300. I think i've seen a **** kinda like that style, Sportdesign?? Where can I buy that?

Q45 OEM Shift ****

I actually saw this from a member in our gallery. Does anyone know who owns this and where I can get the same **** but in maple brown wood?


On page 236 of the gallery:

I've been considering the MOMO Tomahawk myself... shown below with wood grain (the one I would get), but available in a bunch of other colors as well.

Wow that MOMO **** actually looks good! Does anyone know exactly what type of what is in the Lexus GS300? Mahogany? Briarwood? That MOMO **** is briarwood, and it looks kinda darker than the wood in my car.???

Here's mine with the sc430 ****.
The wood match is very very close, it's just the lighting and my awesome photography skill that made it look lighter

Default 3rd gen ****?

Will the 3rd Gen **** fit on the 2nd Gen? I've seen some on ebay but which color wood should i look for being that the 3rd Gen is newer so the wood may be different?
