Looks great chuck. Where did you get it from? How does the leather and wood grain match compared to stock? From the pics it looks like it matches perfectly

hey Rich. thanks. I bought it from a CL member, but I didn't have the greatest experience. I won't drag his name into this, but if you search the buyer/seller feedback section you'll see.

As far as matching, it's pretty close. The wood is a touch darker, but it matches my center console very well. my steering wheel is actually a shade lighter than the rest of my wood(most GS430 are like that from factory)

the leather is also darker than the stocker, but it matches the color of my dash perfect. the leather on my stock *** was a little lighter like the steering wheel leather.

here's the stock ***, you can see it's leather is same color as steering wheel, but lighter than dash whereas the new one is darker like dash.

new...

I use meguiars natural shine on vinyl and meguiars rich leather wipes on leather. both smell and work great.

thanks e- yup, that's my shadow there. he cases everything I do.

thanks Adrian

thanks fellow Greener.

thanks.

thanks. the leather on this one is the same color grey as my dash, I'm actually glad it matched like that. the leather on the stocker is the same lighter color as the steering wheel leather.

I like that 06 ****, very sporty indeed. Whats this about an all wood shifter? I need to search the forums... I want an all wood shifter!
