Default All leather shift *****?

I have white w/tan interior, would like to get an all leather gray shift **** or leather w/chrome.. to match the leather on the steering wheel. I know that goes to another model but think it would look fine because there's a piece of chrome around the base of the ****. I really don't like the way the color of the wood on the shifter doesn't exactly match the rest of the wood. Have seen all leather but I don't know how to make sure it will match.

Any help is appreciated.

Nobody? Guess it's not a popular idea.

I'm not crazy about the cherry wood, was looking around when I went back the other day and I didn't see it in any of the new/er cars. I saw a lot of dark interiors, too. And my salesman drove his wife's car for me to look at the tint and it was the smoky mica w/black interior, and maybe walnut wood trim? Whatever it was - it was stunning. I would have gotten that if I could have found it (not wrecked, and w/nav), but I like the white/tan.. anyway if anyone has oa opinion - good or bad - I'd love to hear it.

They're all over ebay, it's incredible. I was told people steal them - anyway, link:

It's the exact same shape as mine - guess it would be weird though because I think that goes in the IS. One or two replies would be nice. :-)

What help are you looking for? There is no 'sure' way to know it will match. You look at the picture, assume it is an accurate representation of the color, compare it to the car (even taking a laptop or a print out to the car) and if you think it matches, buy it.

In other words, no different than buying anything else on the Internet where color matters.
