Default Carbon Fiber Shift ****?

Hey guys,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a carbon fiber shift **** for my '16 IS350?

I've found this one, https://www.carid.com/momo/shadow-st...6#applications

It says its a universal fit, but not sure if it would allow the boot to be attached.

Any others out there?

Yeah I've seen that one. But it doesn't look like the boot can be attached.

the clips from the boot do not attach to anything other than the OEM shift ****. if you want a clean look, you gotta remove the shift boot to cut the ziptie holding the clip in and then re-ziptie the shiftboot back.

Oh dang, does the boot get in the way of shifting then?

If no after market one will fit the boot... then I may just wrap the silver part of the oem CF

Off topic, but that Seibon CF arm rest looks s3xy. It is a snap on cover, or do I have to remove the oem rubber arm rest?

this seems to be the going rate for the seibon wrist rest.

eBay - CAR ID (reputable vendor) has it for the same price

That's not bad. Could have sworn i saw it listed for $500 on the seibon website but just checked and seems its same on their site also. I will probably order when i order my CF lip spoiler from my local vendor.

And it snaps right off. You have to pull it with some force though. I was worried I would break something but it just pops right off.

I've had my eyes on this cover, sits right on top of the original. Just not sure about fitment, pictures only show RX,NX,ES shift *****. Are they all the same size w/ different leather?

Although I didn't exactly measure them, I'd say yes.
