Hey, where did you find that Sparco one, I really like that one, I'm wondering if its too long for the GS's shaft though?

Also, does it screw on like the stock GS shifter or require screws? How does it install?

Looks like it will fit to me... if you take off your Lexus **** (easy just unscrew counterclockwise) you'll see.

As for installation, check the other thread on ***** I explained how the Momo one installs (doesn't use the existing Lexus thread but it's a good attachment method with tiny hex screws).

William, it's the Momo Cobra Carbon.
The Momo F16 also looks nice!!

Carbon/leather would be the Momo Combat Carbon

I like the 3rd mom shifter, looks nice and clean, all the others will probably get too hot in the sun.

I just ordered the shpere (the round ones pictured above), but in chrome. It has a wood tri-band right in the middle (2 dark wood bands -like in the car- sandwiching a beige one -like my interior). This one looks like the best combination of elegant and sporty, as it matches the chrome of the shaft and door handles. The brushed aluminum (I saw one) is a lot darker than the chrome and I didn't like the contrast. Same with the wood: none is a match to our car's (zebrano is the closest).
I know, I know... you might say I'll develop a few calluses in summer (100º+ here), but if you use the winshield shade, the sun never directly hits the shifter, and it just gets hot (not enough to burn you). Ah, that's the price for style, huh?
If I just could buy a chrome bezel (where P-R-D-N are); Does anybody know if I can buy it somewhere, or where to get it "plastic-chromed"?
As a comment, all manual shifter ***** fit our car, because it doesn't require a push-button; I just wish the adapter had a smaller hole (like the stock unit), installing it low should minimize this "problem".
Take care guys.
