Default Shift **** conversion LC500 24´ → RX 23´ (Pictures)

This is the original shift **** from the 2024 Lexus LC500
For me, the short **** was too small. I always had to shift with two fingers. Now... perfect handling.
Maybe someone else will like this too ..

Thanks for sharing, looks good. It's also nice that color is matched too with the trim. I'm more curious with the magnetic mount that you're using for the phone, doesn't look like it's clamped or hanging from that right AC vent is it? It's a much cleaner than one of those bendable mounts that I have seen that would fit under the cover into the cigarette lighter.

thank you.
These are Brodit accessories. The holder is clipped onto the air vent. But be careful: I have modified the holder by trimming it to size so that it doesn’t wobble, is very compact, and is painted. The MagSafe magnet holds excellently.

The LC500 and RX500 have the same thread in the gear ****.
Hint: While the RX500's **** has the same thread, it sits deeper. This means that on the LC500 Shifter-****, the thread (in the threaded hole) needs to be limited (using a piece of rubber or something similar) to prevent the **** from sitting too deep.
then, in my opinion, the LC **** fits much better in the RX.

OMG I love this. It fits my hand so much better. I used a little bit of paper towel as a stopper to prevent it from screwing down all the way.

I saw that and would have been interested but it didn’t appear to be any taller than the regular ****. Looks great in your rig.

It's a tiny bit wider, not taller. But that LC500 leather looks impeccable!

Well done! The shifting feel is so much better, especially when you're shifting manually. I'm really happy with it too. Great improvement!

I got the RX model, there's a NX model too. It's well made and beautiful with a slight blueish tint. I love it and it uplifts the dark interior. I got it for under $300 and it goes on sale from time to time.
