Default shift ****

I saw that you could custom order interior color in the F now. I cant seem to find the thread with a F with orange accents inside the interior, with a orange shift ****. My question is is there a oem usb shift ****?

my stock **** has a bit of leather damage, and i may replace it and i would love to replace it with a F usb ****.

You'll have to have one custom made. The interior colors in the brochure are Black, Alpine/Black, and Orange/Black. I would think that a orange or blue shift **** would show dirt quicker than the black.

^^ what he said. I have a USB ISF too and what I did for a shift **** was buy the F sport shift ****. It has the USB stitching in the **** and it's black with black cf. It's a nice **** for around $90.00 and really complements the black seats with blue stitching.

Could you attach a picture of it? I would think since the ISF theme color revolves around blue, they would of made a **** in the USB color. I think it would looks so bad *** with the blue stitched leather ****.

Completely agree with you. When I first started looking into buying a 2011, I was hoping to get the red and black interior like the years before. But i can't believe they changed red/black to orange/black! It looks so unlike Lexus and so not classy. I understand if it was color matched to a sexy lambo or something but not an F.

Is this intentionally low, or just the way it turns out?

How do you like it since now you have 2 different carbon fiber colors? Wish they made same one with matching carbon personally. Think design has one in matching carbon vs leather.

It's low because I wanted it that way It will screw down as far as you want it to. There is no stop, and I believe you could force the top off if you screwed it down far enough. But, as I said, having it down that low was my choice.

Since my interior is black, I have no problem with the black carbon fiber look on the F-Sport ****. I like it.

Actually I got it from my dealer. I like my parts guy and I was able to negotiate a pretty good price. They sell on EBay, and are price sensitive.

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR A SHIFT ****! I was thinking about getting this but now not so much. It does look great, I'm not going to lie but $70 is on the high side. For those of you that have it already, hows the build quality? Is it worth shelling out the money?
