Default Carbon Fiber Shift ****

I am obsessed by carbon fiber on my LC.

I have several carbon fiber exterior accessories. Now I have two interior carbon fiber parts. I just added a carbon fiber shift **** from exotic car gear. I had been looking at it for a while but finally decided to purchase it. This **** is built from the core Lexus **** from our car. David at Exotic is very responsive to questions.

The other interior carbon part is a dash cover. The dash cover I purchased several years ago from E6 Carbon. It came from carbon addicts in Japan. Unfortunately the part never fit right. E6 Carbon was great at working with me and adjusted it and ended up sending out a second one. They ended up pulling this part from their line since each of our cars is slightly different. I do think carbon addicts still sells it. The part fit with double stick tape but it didn’t fit the contour of the dash so the tape would not hold. I tried every type of tape, none worked. I really wanted this part to look right so I ended up using two part epoxy which I know probably ruins my dash if I ever remove it.

But I think I finally got it adjusted right.

I'm just not sure it'll save enough weight to be worth it.

Obviously, the point of the carbon fiber isn’t weight savings.

You own an LC, the point of the car also isn’t weight savings.
