lol.

Glow in dark cyan sharpie

I believe you can swap since the ISF ones are just blue paint, but they are made of magnesium according to the brochure so expect to pay an exorbitant amount of cash.

I saw a set on ebay in the ebay stores section about 1 month ago. I think it was about $150-200, but it was coming from Taiwan or Japan or something, so it was like another $50 in shipping.

But, if you go to a lexus parts website (ie- carson's OEM section), you can find them on there too, but I think they're a little more money.

MSRP for the IS-F paddles is $144 each. You'll also need IS-F specific brackets at $3.83 each, and possibly a wire for $26.81. Not sure about all the details, you might be able to just use the switches and reuse everything else from the 250/350.

Our site sponsors have pricing discounted from MSRP, and all the prices above are MSRP for comparison.

this may be the $4 harness. a lot of work (and $$$) just to get colors you will barely see with your eyes on the road.

the silver is a little brighter than the 250/350. i say just get the whole IS-F wheel, which includes the paddles. it would be a better deal i think. the paddles are half the cost of the wheel from what i can calculate.

www.golfwrx.com

all the info you need to re-coloring little bitty icons, numbers, logos and symbols


edit: in short, get some model paint, fill in the plus/minus, and wipe excess gently with a paper towel dampened with thinner.

MSRP on the whole wheel is $742.59. If the paddles are $288, that's still quite a bit less than half the cost.
