Interested as well. Have only seen one aftermarket replacement, but it is big, ugly, and bright silver.

I just bought a 2016 CPO.. and my **** is also all scratched up. Is it possible to replace just the button with another new one?

I just bought this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-IS-RC...53.m2749.l2649

It looks like a cheap aluminum cover, but it will look better than my scratched original ****

The control **** for ECO/NORMAL/SPORTS is putting on top of the OEM one, while the volume control is replacing the OEM one. Am I right?

Please do. I saw the same listing but was confused as to whether they were selling the radio control ***** or the drive mode **** or both.

Any updates on this? Did anyone receive them? Real world photos would be great.
Questions I would like answered before I purchase;
1. Is the sport **** cover in fact a "cover" or does it replace the whole assembly?
2. How is it installed? Slide over existing with 3M tape? Friction fit? Replaced?
3. Does the $55 include the radio volume and tune *****?
4. Are the radio ***** replacements or do they slip over the existing?

Also wondering if anyone found a nice cover for this ****? I'm surprised they aren't easier to find with all these carbon fiber fanatics in the community. I too would like to find a nice cf cover for it as it think it would look much more sleek

dammit, I need to replace that button on mine as well. Crazy ex broke the top of the button that snaps into place on top of the driving mode selector wheel

I replaced mine due to the imperfection on the plastic but the mode selector **** is in good condition. Unfortunately the plastic trim piece is not sold without the mode selector. I can remove the mode selector box and **** and sell it if anybody here is interested.
