Default Shift **** replaced OEM chrome with aftermarket piano black (photos)

My 1st post, hi everyone. Stepping into my 1st Lexus and 1st hybrid. Loving every mile of it so far.

pre-owned es300h's shift **** was scratched, worn and I'm not a fan of chrome. The aftermarket is a bit smaller and the piano black reduces the glare distraction.

I definitely like what you did with your shift **** to renovate it. I went in another direction and replaced it all together with a TRD one. Your way is definitely more cost effective ill say.

Where did you find the Piano black one? I like it, and the leather looks good too. Mine looks like yours, the leather looks more like rubber. Do you have a link to where I can get one like yours?

Both parts look good.

What year did they have chrome in the shift ****?

Also, the part on eBay says it's only compatible through 2015. What happened after 2015?

I have the 2015 crafted line es. The interior is different color stitching and seating. It might look orange from the flash but its more of a reddish brown color. or like a burgundy.
