not here.... try a lexus forum, a junk yard or a lexus dealership.. I don't think the regulars in a TL forum would have an extra IS300 shift knob laying around...

do you own a 99 TL so that you have a chromed out shift gate or where did you purchase from?
I love the Razo shiftknob as well...you got that for only 40USD? where?
THANKS

When in 1st or 2nd gear the bottom of the shifter is about a 1/8 inch away from the gate.

Momo...yes. Feels good...subjective. I mainly got it to lower the height of the knob...which BTW I doubt you can get any lower than this.

Just look in the Momo website.
Mine = RACE AIRLEATHER

What you are initially looking for is called "ALUMINUM SPORT"
However, keep in mind that on hot days, you wouln't want to shift.

I chose functionality over looks here.

i had that exact same momo shifter in my VW and i absolutely loved it. the only problem that i had was the small "momo" sticker on the top of the shifter kept coming off and i had to super glue it but it came off and i lost it. other than that. i would buy it again.
