I already looked into this. The steering wheel will work but the airbag will not.
Order the one from Japan
I see in the pics that they have it on the GS.

I am yet to see a 3GS with this installed! My GS460 has rev matching, and 8 speeds to deal with. I need this feature when doing track days.

Okay but that means it is only available in Japan. How do I get this in the United States? I'd pay $500 bucks for this mod without hesitation.

Its a waste imo, since its not like our cars upshift in 0.1 seconds...

I had Darrel @ Sewell look into this and its a no go. I hear there are kits you can get in the states but honestly I dont think it will be worth it unless you truly think you will drive with them. I hardly used them in my last Lexus.
