I think this came out last year in Japan... It looks really good in quality.

This modification has been done on Chrysler's 300 and Dodge Charger, etc. In Japan it just went a step further; they use the same AMG peddle-shift and integrated it with Lexus or many other vehicles... do a Google search

wait, how does it work?

 

nice. any more info. on it? like a price and a way to get it.

 

oooo can we purchase this???? thats the only feature I envy IS owners for!!

 

Interesting. That definitely is not an OEM piece. Lexus paddle shifts have "-" & "+" designations for their paddle shift units.

The older E-Shift units had "UP" button in the rear and & "DOWN" buttons in the front as they were in the 1IS and 2GS.

Now the real question is...does it work?

 

Don't know why the 3GS didn't come out with this in the first place..

 

wow, very interesting piece!

 

2GS has paddles and we dont???

 

very clean. SOLO approved!!!

 

(I would kill for this)...wait....I have a CVT.....crap....

 

I like it but as far as I can tell it is a DIY. A lot of BMW E46 owners were doing this too. It's a lot of work for a layman.

Can anyone show me an example of someone selling a ready made plug and play paddle wheel? I would buy if I could buy a ready made shifter wheel and take it to dealer and have them install it with 1-2 hours labor.

 

thats pretty cool but i never use that anyway haha l like my automatic

 

LOL! i was thinking the exact same thing!

 

all gs400 had it, and 01-05 gs300

98-00 gs300 and 01-05 gs430 do not have steering shift

 

and to me, unless there is rev matching, otherwise i think it's pretty painful when you down shift hard and it chokes like hell
