Default Another Mod to Consider - Gear Shift

For those that want an inexpensive mod to make their cars exclusive, you may consider the gear shift. I believe that Toyota has a common thread for all automatic gear shifts. As my RX, SC, Avalon and the just modded GS shifts are the same. As you can see the wood burl matches even better than the faded OE. And the OE SC shift is a nice mod to my Avalon and, by luck, matches the wooden plastic of the Toyota. Many choices on fleabay.

Hi Mandy,
It was sold to me on fleabay as a GS430 gear shift. I admit that I am not the expert in these matters and bow to your expertise. If you say that is a GX kay-en-oh-bee (for some reason the censors don't like the word, although it is the common search term on Amazon and fleabay) then I'll change the description. A lot of the mods that I have done and seen are for viewing outside the cabin. Either way (GS/GX/LS), it's fun to have something in the cabin.

Also thanks to all for the nice comments.

I have the same on my RX. I tried to put it in on the SC, it looked tall, plus I really want it on my RX.

I am looking for a Blonde shifter. Mine's Black, somebody changed it prior. An IS shifter or an LS will look good. Time to prowl the fleabay for a Xmas gift to the SC!!!

Just got it also. Matches much better the interior and its sportier. It is taller and a bit smaller to the feel but I like it.
