Default has anyone changed their drive-mode selector ****?

hi guys,
i recently came across this listing on ebay and was wondering if anybody has done something similar in changing their drive-select *****. i'm aware that the stock **** is prone to scratches.

i'm very interested in this. please get it and try it before we do. =)

i got my 3is certified pro owned ... asked dealership to replace my **** and for it to be included in sale. but they ignore me and played dumb when i later went to get fixed. they said you have to replace the entire little module.
my fault for not getting it writing.

Call me old fashion but I much prefer the OEM part over this...I have never had any scratch issues but then again, I am OCD and don't have any kids or people riding with me

The **** itself is replaceable but many of those types of parts are sold OEM in a package with surrounding parts, not sure about that one.

I think the OEM looks much better imo but what you've linked is the only aftermarket one I've seen. If you really have an itch to change things up what about vinyl wrapped interior? You can even wrap the top of the **** to switch that up (or I've seen precut stick on pieces for the drive selector)

That eBay **** is too tacky to replace the OEM.

The OEM one looks cleaner to me. I also noticed some Lexus have the white version of the ****, that one also looks nice.
