Thats a funny one.After looking at the pictures , decided to lower it about 3/4".The knob is very nicely made (in Japan), the black piece is soft leather, rest is all metal. The old Vibe knob went on the Sienna shifter

You need one with a button OR I think you can put the overdrive switch (the button) to another switch.

Looks nice vit !I was looking at OEM chrome/leather Lexus shift knobs on eBay, but ended up getting GM chrome overlays for the OEM Vibe shift knobs instead.
