Hi Guys,

Couldn't help but share some pics of my new hand carved Hazelwood burl gear shift ****. I bought this through Etsy. The gentleman's name is Murat and he is in Turkey. I am thrilled with the look and feel it's added to my 2006 LS430. It's an extra touch of class and elegance. Both of my daughters have LS430's and I plan to buy two more. Price is great. I would have gladly paid 3 times what I paid.

Beautiful, but how to find on etsy? Did a couple of searches and no luck. Link?

Hi DeMark1,

I just typed in "LS430 Gearshift ****" in the search bar of Etsy and it came up. I've copied the web address below:

Wow lots of nice ones. not sure i see your exact one, but some nice alternates too.

victorjohn

Evidently I bought the last Hazelnut wood **** but there are many others that are just as good IMO. I like the maple burl and think I may buy a couple of those for my daughter's LS430's. The craftsmanship is stellar and it went right on with no issues.

That's a beauty. I tried searching for this but not having used Etsy before haven't found the item. Can you help out? I'm in Toronto and I have a 2002 LS 430. Can you share a link? Much appreciated. That's a real piece of art

Hi Freddy - please see my response to demark1 up above. I have included the Etsy link in the reply. Let me know if you're still having trouble and I can repost it.

One more quick question. How do you know that you are getting an exact or correct fit? Is it standard once it specifies LS 430 for all years? I have a 2002 . Thanks in advance. I have seen some comments about having to use tape for a snug fit as well as the length of the silver shaft below the ****. Would really like one but want to be sure about what I order

Hmm I guess they don't have one that matches the grey wood that I have.

Hi AVS,- I did see a gray colored ****. Not sure if it matches your car but I'm attaching the link below.

Good Luck, Victor

HI AVS - See my post on a gray gearshift

AVSRacing

Not sure if that's to dark, mine looks like this but slightly lighter

Had the same **** for a while - certainly better than the tattered stock one! I've seen the burl-wood as brown and gray on etsy.

I think the same **** is listed as an infiniti replacement? But either way its a great addition!

victorjohn

I guess I've never seen the gray Lexus woodwork. That looks really cool - I like it! Hard to tell for sure about color match. I think my gearshift **** is just a 1/2 shade darker than the car's woodwork but I think it still looks great. There's also something very tactical about it. It just feels as good as it looks.

Mine is on the way. Looking forward to receiving next week . Redwood burl.. Anticipation!
