i HIGHLY recommend you to take that CF Cover off of the radio and clean up the reisude... i work for a Lexus/Toyota Dealer's part dept and deal with warrantying Radio's basically everyday... if a customer brings in a radio with that CF vinyl on top, ohhh they will have to pay over $2k for that radio because Lexus wont cover that.... besides that, i want a DIY!!

Is the cloth stretchy? I might do it over the shifter if it's stretchy.

I dont understand how your dealership can void warranties for something that is esentially a sticker.

Thats the same as saying.... Oh, you put a decal on your hood... your engine is no longer covered under warranty.

NOT REALLY... its not just my dealer... its Lexus in general... thats like putting nitrous on your car and blowing the motor and telling thme to warranty it because the car is still under the mileage... it wont fly... a "little" sticker on the radio will not be accepted by Lexus USA and the dealer will get charged back for it...and the "warranty" wont be voided... they just wont warranty the part...

and a decal on a body part is something totally different than tampering an electrical part.....
