Default Finally installed leather shift boot & carbon fiber shifter in GS

I finally got around to installing the leather shift boot & c/f **** in the GS. The install took about 20 minutes and was pretty easy.. Here are some pics..

Took apart the console and installed the TRD leather shift boot This is the first time I ever took apart the console in 9 yrs of ownership..


Finished product






Goes with the rest of the TRD bits inside the car.

imo I think you should paint or get the blackwood for your door panels and console. I like the trd boot and ****, but I dont think it flows well with the wood. But nice boot nonetheless.

Default Nice!

I have one that's similiar made by Momo! The carbon fiber wood pieces would compliment it better than your existing pieces?

LOL, thats pretty cool, although it kind of looks out of place with all the wood trim. I'd get some black wood trim, that should look much better.

You did a GREAT job Sean! I am always happy to hear you still like modding the Lexus eventhough you have other, much newer cars.
