there is an F-Sport shift **** that fits the IS-F but to me it doesn't really match the interior well. just my opinion...

there's actually a lot of options out there...just gotta keep looking

I know Carson has some for the F but they're relatively expensive. Link is below

yeah, i know a lot of people who think it does...just an opinion cause if i had my choice, i'd rather it be silver to match the rest of the trim...
i really like the leather and blue stitching and all but just where it sits it doesn't seem to match...ionno...just me...i'm weird like that...haha

How did you get it that low? Does it simply screw down further?

Think Design with the matching carbon fiber insert looks good, if you are willing to drop $275 for it. Carson Toyota carries it.

Yep, The stock **** will too. But, if you go down to far, you can pop the top off. I like mine just where I have it.

Default thanks guys

thanks guys. just go home from a crazy first day at the new job but thanks for the ideas.

the F-sports **** doesn't do it for me. i don't have the CF theme in the car and somehow the blue stitching isn't appealing.

it's crazy how low Lou got the **** down.

i was thinking yesterday that l like the fact the F's gear box isn't too low. one of the aspect that i liked about the lotus esprit was the height of the shifter with respect to the driver's position, and the F's shifter was in a pretty good height position.

i'm not prepared to blow ~$300 on a shifter ****... sheesh. A $300 **** would have to be sterling silver with my initials on it.

i'm going to stick with the stock **** for now and poke around some more. will share if i come across something i like.
