I saw that he had 6 or so. I bought one from another seller on ebay for 40 bucks. I think anything over 50 is too much. I also say a black wood and leather steering wheel for about 75 bucks! too bad my interior isn't black.

If you look though at what he sells, he has Acura, M-Benz, and Lexus shift *****. This guy must work at a dealership who sells those three car brands. He must work at their parts department...somewhere along in the inventory chain.

But then, why only shift *****? His username also has something to do with shifters. Does he work perhaps at a plant who sells ***** to these car makers?

I bought one for my car from him and the colors didn't match. I was told they are older ***** or possibly not original. He refused to refund my money when I asked for an exchange or refund and an address to return the ****. He wrote a nasty email back to me bascially telling me NO REFUNDS and too bad. I called my credit card company and had the transaction reversed. Now I have my money back, and I have the ****. It may not match exactly in my car but it was free...can't complain about that.

Karma's a b****!!!!

Is wood & leather shift **** an option on the GS? My GS is pre-owned and it came with all leather shift ****. All the GS4 tested by various magazines are shown with wood & leather shift ****.

I dont think so. You may have an aftermarket or **** from some other car.

I think the wood looks nice...but that's a weakspot. On the top of the **** where the wood meets the beige leather...the **** is EXTREMLY prone to wear and eventually shows black underneath.

Not having wood there is probably a blessing in disguise.

Sewell Lexus sells on ebay right? Cuz, I remember buying a wood/leather **** from them, it wasn't original Lexus though, it was made by American Stitches (same company that is doing all the wood steering wheel conversions). The wood matches very well and the leather is holding up very nicely. I've probably had it for over 6 months now.

I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was in the $50-$100 range.
