    I like #1 or #4, from personal experience getting in and out of so many customers cars, #3 feels way too cheap, like something you would pick up at a flea market.

    Pugga I'm still leaning toward that one a lot. I'm going to swing by the dealer this week and see if they can get me one to try out. I'm just hoping it doesn't cost $texas$

    Toyota Tech thanks for the input on #3. I definitely don't want anything cheap feeling in my truck.

    I bought one made out of delrin. Love the feel and how it dampens temperature's effect on it. Was pretty cheap on Amazon. Check it out

    Just type "trd auto shifter" into google and click on shopping. There are a couple of websites including eBay where you can get it. I haven't found it cheaper than $117 so far.

    A little update. The Lexus knob is a Lexus dealer item only so I will have to wait for that one. I have to set up a wholesale account with the local Lexus dealer and that usually takes a week or two.

    I just ordered the Camry LE knob and will have some pics/fitment info for it Friday afternoon.

    I ended up picking up a 2012 shift knob for my 08. I am pretty happy with it and it didn't cost me much.

    Camry LE was ~ $40 new.
    The Lexus one, yeah that's going to be about $150 and I doubt I'll be finding a used shift knob anytime soon from a 2013 $65k car.

    I was looking for a specific Lexus knob, not just any ole knocker. It was only on the 2013 and only on the 450h.

    Just got the Camry LE knob and installed it. It's a perfect fit and the silver insert at the top is a perfect paint match to the trim around the shift lever.

    I also spoke with Lexus again today and the GS 450h knob won't be released for parts until the middle of next month.
