Just bought an '03 IS 300 (after waaaay too many years with an '89 Toyota truck) and want to replace the "chrome" shifter knob with a nicer leather one. Does anyone have experience? Any suggestions on a website to do some shopping?

-TIA

I've had Momo knobs on a couple of my previous cars and loved them. I should have an IS fairly soon and if it has the chrome knob, that will be gone before I get home. I'm guessing that being in the Palm Springs area where it is 110+ is not going to be a great combination with a metal shift knob. :) I'm thinking something like this our their Race Air style.

You have no idea how much I dislike my shift knob. I live in Hemet, and it can get pretty "warm" there as well. Going to throw the car in Drive and having your hand scortched off sucks! :pirate: lol!

I think the round chrome ball is kinda cheezy looking too. The leather ones are nice.

Or maybe an eight ball?

Go for TRD Shortshifter. This knob is delivered with it:

You can find this knob on ebay often. It replaces the chrome knob very well. I have it.

But the OEM knob IS CULT!!

Perhaps if you like and your chrome knob is unscratched we could swap....
