I think our Shifter **** is very good looking one out there and match to the int. design as well... anyway there is a carlsson one it will look good if you have the CF trim set! It only comes in Black so you better have the black CF trim set then...

I second that, I like the shift ****, I think its almost perfect so I find no need to replace it especially since theres nothing wrong with it. Id rather spend the money on something else

Philip,

I acutally paid for a wood shift ****. I got the 350 w/ premium so I decide to match the shift **** with the all the wood and I was able to find one that was pulled from the GS.

It was used, but it's in a pretty good shape. After, I replace the ****, the interior of the car look a lot more...luxurious. (maybe like your 460L )...I wish.

I just ordered this one from FABULOUS, since I put a carbon-look vinyl on my center console.

How well does the wood on the GS shift **** match up to the wood in our cars?

I guess there is nothing wrong w/it. It's just that we wants something different, and unique!!!

It's wood on the shift **** is little "darker" than the one in our IS, but it matches perfectly and I love it. It gives me a feeling of luxurious interior as oppose to half luxury and half sport.

I will post pictures when I finally get the time to.

Really interested in seeing those pics. BTW, any idea how much a new one costs?
