Default TRD F Sport shift ****

I saw this shift **** on the F sport website and thought it looks pretty cool with the bird eye maple. Does anyone have this shift ****???? what do you guys think??? I am liking it and I might order it and the intake to take advantage of the 20% off. I like the **** because the color of my car is blue and the stitching is blue. I am wondering about the carbon fiber and wood clashing, but the pics look cool.

I like it a lot as well and love the blue stitching. I have no idea why Lexus made it carbon fiber and they don't have one damn Lexus with that carbon fiber pattern trim inside.

I think I may get one and use for car shows and meets...

That would look really bad with the red wood trim on my GS.

Good choice, I have it in my car and it is really well made. I thought it wouldn't match the cherrywood interior at first but it does look good. It is more beefier than stock **** & has notched grip so it feels sportier.

It's like wearing a pair of Nike running shoes with your slacks, everyone will stare, but for the totally wrong reasons.

Except no one is going to see the sway's or the intake, but everyone who rides with you will see the shifter...

I ended not getting it because I was so unhappy with the F sport intake.
