Was installing mirror mount for radar detector and dropped hardware onto shift **** and scratched it

Definitely can't look at that scratch everyday. Any advice on aftermarket shift *****? The only ones I have seen so far say F sport on them and my 2016 IS300 is not F sport.

Thanks!

 

mine is scratched as well. any idea how to take it off?

 

Pull down on the shift boot and twist off ****.

OP: If you do buy an aftermarket ****, make sure it's compatible with the shift boot. The shift **** isn't easy to change out.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking of buying some carbon fiber vinyl and try wrapping it.

 

yeah was thinking of doing vinyl wrap as well. Only concern is if it bunches or creates creases since it isn't flat. Would have to make a pretty accurate cut out of the vinyl

 

Pulled the trigger on some 3D Blue Carbon Fiber Texture Vinyl Wrap Sticker Decal Film so we will see what I think once it comes in.

 

From eBay? I am looking for birds eye maple vinyl for my es. Cause I wanna do what you are doing. When you do it can you post process and pics?

 

@imrankh24 from Amazon they offer a few different colors. I looked at some you-tube videos for applying the vinyl. I will post some pictures and thoughts once I try it myself. Looks like you need to clean the surface well with alcohol pads, then cut a template, cut the vinyl, then apply with heat and a vinyl applicator.

 

What did you search? I searched wood vinyl and got some weird results.

 

I replaced my **** with a razo carbon ra-65. Looks nice and sleek. I'll sell u my oem if u want to just replace it with an oem unscratched or damage. Pm me if interested.

 

^^^^Mmmmmmm squash air fresheners. Don't last long but they smell so good!

 

That steering wheel.... uggg. too bad it's flat on the bottom. I enjoy freeway driving with my knee

 

this is my new shift ****

 

Nice, Where did you get the red one?

 

Hey man, so did your vinyl come? Did you wrap it yet? And can you link me the videos you watched?
