Default How much$, where to buy Wheel+shifter?

I like the wheel and the shifter too, does anyone know where I can buy them? Does the shifter still have the O/D button on front?

I like the wood steering wheel from the 1st pic, and the aftermarket wood shift **** doesn't look bad (matches with the wood trim around the shifter).

The levoc shifter in the 2nd pic screams air flight video games to me LOL The chrome looks out of the place on the shifter, and throws off the appearance with the center console IMO. Don't know what the deal is with the 'L' emblem slapped on top of the airbag

The chrome Lexus logo is most likely a sticker from the rear trunk. It is also a death wish if the airbag goes off. It is really stupid to do such a thing.
The shifter **** does look fabulous.

ya'll just love to clown folks don't you. The airbag is disabled so not as stupid as you thought. yes it does look a little(ok alot) "flight video game"ish and the chrome is abit out of place, but a hollowed out baseball would look better then the OEM shifter IMO.

Is that your car? Just a little hint. The "L" that is located on top of your engine is half the size and fits absolutely perfectly in the place of "L" on top of the airbag. I have it on my car and it looks quite at home.
