Default Need help on deciding new shift ****

I noticed that I have a few scratches on the leather on the shift ****, nothing too noticeable but just annoying seeing. Was debating of which Lexus **** to go with. I'm considering F-sport because it is actually cheapest out of the 3 and I have some F-Sport parts but I feel like my interior is too conservative/stock for any CF. My interior is the redwood trim kit too, so I think the F-Sport **** may be too contrasting with the blue thread. If someone has this interior, please post pics of the **** on your trim! I would like to keep the interior simple and conservative.

Pictures below:

OEM


OEM Perforated


F-Sport


What to do what to do lol

Andre, I tried searching for it but found nothing. Saw that you got the Momo shifter though.

I have the redwood trim which looks like this:


The perforated looks nice and oem too and will flow well with the perforated seats
