Paul Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The options are, get the correct leather finish/paint and re-finish the old one as it's worn/shiney with no real damage or buy a new one? Been searching Ebay for correct stuff to re-finish, not sure what's the best stuff, also it looks like £25/£30 to do this. The other option is to cut my losses and go for a new one, don't fancy paying £100 for the ones on Ebay as I think they come from Japan and are a bit of a take on. Anyone know if I can get one from Toyota and what sort of money? The only other positive about re-finishing is that i could do the handbrake handle too, not sure though as i don't want a poor finish that looks painted but as close to OEM as possible. Any help or advice, anyone done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Get it retrimmed if you can get the leather from Toyota, or maybe if someone can make one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Iirc the stock one was approx £60 not so long ago. It's the best gearknob you can have on a Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 80 quid + VAT right now from the UK. Any idea if these things are usually in stock or they have to bring them from Japan ?

I'll also buy a new one in the following days. Hopefully they are in stock and they don't have to come all the way from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
