Well,

I just purchased a Wood Ash Tray Assembly and Chrome Shifter Bezel today.

NOW ALL I NEED TO DECIDE IS WHICH SHIFT **** TO GET!
PLZ POST CLOSE-UP PICS OF YOUR SHIFTERS & CONSOLE SO I CAN COMPARE THE WOOD COLOURS.

Thanks

First Question, what is the actual type or colour of wood used?

Second Question, what other model cars of Lexus or Toyota shift ***** are interchangable with the 2000 GS300?

Thanks

I contacted Lexus directly and found that my 02' GS300 is "Ivory" interiro color with "California Walnut" wood trim. The color is orangish.

I bought 3 different ***** off ebay before I found the leather/wood colors to match my car. However, I had to modify them by taking the right color wood off one and the right color leather off another. I just swaped them around and sold the opposite one back on ebay.

Be careful if you do this. The wood can be pryed off, but be easy or it will break (word of experience).

I have an all wood RX330 ****, it did not fit originally but I took the chrome plastic bottom piece and cut 90% of it off. Now it fits perfect and looks awesome.

**Edit - Just took a pic of it. It sits low and it looks sporty, I love it.
