Default Shift ****

My shift **** is old and chafing. Trying to find a cheap replacement, preferably wood grain. Any suggestions ? OEM ***** are ridiculously expensive, and not really finding much on Ebay or Amazon.

What color do you need it? I have two in black color. But also, post or look on the classified to see if you can find one.

I have a 99 GS300 with tan interior. Checked the classifieds and couldn't find one. So they all fit the same, or are the sizes different by year/model.

Yes, some year the size are different and when I say size I talking about the some are higher and other are a little shorter, but all fit. Have the same tread. Also, if I'm not mistaken the SC model and the IS also fit. Again, the thead are the same.

I think I paid $40 for mine on eBay about a year ago. I waited a few months because the prices range between $70-80. Just search for "lexus gs400 shift **** oem".

Nelson even if you don't have heated seats why not pick up some heated seat buttons so it fills those holes?
