Sorry meant to do it as a DIY but messed up with the post pretty much its easy...

1. Put the Emergency brake on.
2. Turn the car to the "ON" position
3. Put the car in neutral
4. Pull out the Ash Tray
5. Lift up the consule
6. Disconnect the ECT and VSC buttons(and heated seats if you have)
7. Pull off the consule
8. Slide the bezel foward(i used a small screwdriver to lift up the tabs)
9. Then just do everything in reverse order and you just changed the bezel

Cool man where did you get that? would be cool if the bottom of the shiftknob had a black chrome piece too and the inside door handles!


i've taken my shifter console apart twice already messing with the lighting under there, not hard at all, i just get nervous pulling apart the interior pieces when i see the prices people ask for the Sport Design trim in the classifieds.

Yea it sure is. I just put it in and i hardly notice it. But still like it. Just to let everyone know that the chrome one i had in isnt in the best of shape. I would be willing to sell it cheap tho if someone just wants a cheap upgrade from their original

lol i was thinkin the same thing when i seen the price, then i remembered if i do get it, i can always sell my oem chrome piece to offset the cost




i really dig the black chrome bezel, just started having 2nd thoughts if i should get it since all my other interior pieces would be chrome, and my front and rear Lexus "L"'s are chrome as well

I dunno, something about interior chrome pieces reminds me of my dad's 80's domestics cars.
