Swapped for OEM JDM red stitched shifter and boot! *PICS*
So I always hated that I have red interior with blue/white stitched shifter, boot, and wheel. Well I finally got around to swapping out the shifter and boot with OEM parts! If anyone else is interested it was very easy to install and I am a novice at car work. All it took was to take out the center console and unscrew the boot, swap boots, swap cores with a zip tie, and you're done! Only hiccup is that the opening for the red stitched boot isn't big enough for RCF one so you'll have to mess with it a little to get it right. Total install time was 30 mins! Below I will link where I got the boot, shifter, and the video I found to install! Enjoy!
Turned out great. I agree that the blue stitching is wrong when you have red interior. It was one of the first things I noticed when I bought my car. I don't think I will change it though.
lmao nice, was wondering when someone would be upset with the blue stitching hahahaha
OMG!! After reading, I had to go out and look inside my car!
Never noticed this horrible color difference!!!! How will I be able to drive my car until I get this fixed? And I thought I always paid attention to details!
Or... How much bourbon can $143 get me to relieve me of my pain, and not think of this again!
Or... Maybe I can just dye these threads red?
Or... One of the benefits of me being color blind is that I don't really notice this that much!

Nice! I have the exact shifter on the way, I ordered it from a seller in Japan on ebay and its been about 3 weeks so far. I'll probably need to order the shift boot too. I have red stitching and perforated leather on my dctms steering wheel so it should match nice.
You must have telepathic abilities man! Looks great buddy!
Been torn on this matter for months now, but have struck out in several places (Bulletproof) which is a desirable piece IMHO, and is a shame that they have such a bad reputation on delivery of it! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...hift-****.html
However, I have both the Circuit Red Interior WITH the USB Exterior, but concur w you on Red matching a bit better. Why in the world cant we find more options - Guess Im used to seeing tons of Carbon Fiber Companies who make stuff for Motorcycles. (SIGH)
At least the CF Overlay for my entire console is on the way!
Since there is so few choices on truly Classy Looking Shift ***** (Other than your own I mean) I have been looking everywhere for other alternatives! Anyone tried these from Momo?
Being a Combat Vet, Im partial to the first one........
Also, those who've gone with the Alacantra type Shift Boot - Does that sort of material seem to collect more dust and particles over regular leather material? Would nicely match the Arm rests within the car-don't you think?

(Cannot locate any aftermarket links for those)
I don't know about those shifters but the RCF shifter has a core that you need to swap in order to make the swap successful.

Please explain. It was my belief you could simply just spin off the Old OEM Shifter, and screw on a new one? I DID happen to see several aftermarket products including other pieces to "adapt" the shaft pieces, and tiny allen screws to tighten it down.

They spin off but if you want it to be flush you’re going to have to do some custom work. All the new Lexus shifters have a core in the middle that attach through the middle of the shift boot. Hard to explain but if you just pull shift boot down from the shifter it will detach and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Good gouge, thanks!
What really baffles the hell outta me is that there are so few choices to select from when it comes to aftermarket Shift *****. The one from Bulletproof Auto is hot, but nearly non existent. Where on this green earth can I find something hot w Carbon Fiber to replace then? Please share as many others as possible. I'm getting ready to put on my Hurst Shift Handle from my 80s Z28!
