It's from ThinkDesign. I got it from Japan. Unfortunately I believe you have to call them to order cos I couldnt place an order online.

My vinyl came. Did my shift ****. Got the look I was after. I'm happy as it was my first time working with wrap. I did my key too I had a lot left over. The key looks great too now I have a 1 of 1 Lexus key.

So I cut a 5.5 by 5.5 piece and started on top and worked my way down to cover most of the shift **** including the Leather. Heat will be your best friend cause the **** has aggressive curves. And toward the end of the trim I just overlapped it but not noticeable and you won't be able to see it cause that side faces towards the radio controls. And tucked everything in on the bottom. When cutting point the blade away from the leather. I will probably do it again this weekend to get cleaner cuts but I love the result.

Your shift **** looks great! Can you share with me how you made the boot flush with the ****? It seems like the boot retainer/collar/clip would be in the way like in this photo.

You can just buy one of this and get it over with 8-).
