I have seen Lexus made FSport **** so I know there is that one, however the strings are bright blue and the carbon fiber doesn't match the aluminum trim the car already has.

Anyone know of any suppliers who make ones that look similar to the styling of the OE one? Was looking at aluminum /piano black/ grey stitching to match the FSport trim.

Also what is the difference between the American Market and the JDM LS460 FSport Shift ****? The OE one has a non symmetrical shape to it. Does that mean this one is flipped for right handed driving?

My **** is real metal, as was my **** on my 2015. Are you sure yours just doesn't have some sort of junk sticking to it? Try cleaning it with a metal polish or a wadding polish.

The F sport one is the same it just has perforated leather.

There aren't any options outside of the OEM **** that I've seen, I've looked.

Thanks, Steve, now I'm on ebay...and I don't need to be.

I know my '12's shift **** is fading slightly compared to the steering wheel/console, but the walnut/chrome looks great!

I wonder if the chrome on top will reflect the sun too much, though. Probably not.

Finally got tired of look of mine. Was getting worn out and old looking. Found this on Ebay for about $35. It feels just like a oem version. I thought about getting one in all wood but like the leather version best.

A couple that caught my eye. Not sure of the fit though. I also don't know if the metal colored "collar" at the bottom will make the **** stick up too much compared to the low profile of the OE one.


Will match (I hope) the aluminum/ carbon fiber trim in the F Sport

Same as above but is "carbon fiber" instead of Kevlar.


I just saw it comes with black writing and the kevlar. The one with red leather has "punching leather" aka perforated. Wish these were like that also.
