Default As promised, pics of my whole interior JDM blackwood kit

This was already on the car when I bought it 2 years ago. Woopee, lucky me.

dash/radio area:



shiftknob and the side center console area:



driver's side: (yes we drive on the right side, that's not an optical illusion ahahhah!)



passenger's side:



Oh, and in case you are wondering, the leather is Sweitzer. It's custom made, along with the rest of the seats and door panels. I am too lazy to take pics of the rear door panels' blackwood trims. But they essentially look the same as the front.

If you look at your center console, it's a little "driver oriented" which means while everything on my kit "leans" to the right, the kit for your car would have to "lean" to the left. If I take off my kit right now and put it on your car it would look totally misshapen. The same goes for a Supra (which is even more like a cockpit!).

Also a good point to note is that the ash tray does not have the same finish, I guess they thought it would be too much.

the RHD version probably does not fit the LHD, since the radio buttons are different. (read: Mirrored).

The red button is for unlocking the gearbox, if you want to start in a gear before ignition.

Sweet, I love the leather. Notice how Lexus changes ALL THE SWITCHES to whatever side the driver is on.

so that if u ever need to push ur car if like ur battery is dead or something...or else u wouldnt b able to get the shifter into N. I think its usually for things of that nature.

I thought the GS didnt have the in dash CD player? I thought it was always in the glove box? and i c ur AC is on C not F like our USDM GS.

What he said about pushing the car if the battery is dead thing is correct. Except that here in Indonesia, it's more useful if you are doubleparked and stuff and the parking attendant needs to push your car out of the way so that the people who park on the inside can get out. It's crazy how tight parking space here is. I am surprised my car is still blemish-free and no door dings *crossing fingers*

Also, my car has an in-dash CD Player because it's NOT a GS, it's an Aristo V300. I am not sure how it looks on your GS cars. I don't own one.

And I am not sure about the C and F thing that you said about my AC......*confused*
