taoh Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I'm looking to replace my old scratched shift knob for an illuminated leather one. Similar to those of the bimmer M series, but 5 speed. Ideas? There are some on eBay for VW, Mercedes and Porsche. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RTQ:MOTORS:1348 So my second question is, would any shift knob like those on eBay work on the IS?
wurm Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 if your looking for an illuminated shift knob just go up to autozone or the closest auto part store. (o rieleys and autozone are usually the big ones for that one size fits all stuff) but personally i think they just look to cheap to go in a IS. I too have a scratched up metal plain knob i been needing to replace (cuz it loox icky around all my nice interior :P) I know if you go to any toyota dealership or lexus dealership tho they sell the oem ones along with some aftermarket ones. Again you have to deal with dealership prices... but its a shift knob, wont be that expensive, and they look a lot better than that universal crap (Look at me i drive a honda with led shifter kinda crap) Also check out lextasy.com They have a massive selection of stuff for lexus's especially is300's, some people here seem to give them a bad rep but ive used them on several occasions and ive had no problems. So check em out if you havent already. have a good'n
wurm Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 http://www.lextasy.com/lexus-shiftknob.htm http://www.lextasy.com/lexus_carbon_fiber_...b_1371_prd1.htm thats all lextasy has to offer. the aluminum one is similar to the one i have. Think its stock on the lexus is300 but yah its all scratched up... the carbon fiber one there is an example of the "universal" they are made really cheap. you can always check out andysautosport.com or extremedimensions.com as well they offer some decent items as well. I don't know for shift knobs but they do have a decent selection of items for lexus.
