You know I was just wondering about this as well. Like if a custom shop could fabricate a leather "wrap" for the shift ****. I HATE that it isn't leather.

You'd just have to find a local embroider / leather worker and ask for a quote.

I'm doing all my own interior stuff, so I haven't looked around for a person.

im kinda torn, i think im gonna look for a local guy to see what he can do, but at the same time i think i really like the flameball idea since i can get matching gauges at speedhut....along with my soon to be painted door panels and dash its gonna look great. im going to paint my interior pace car sytle i think.

but i am curious about getting one made from leather. i rest my arm on the shift **** when i drive and im not sure how well thats gonna work if its a ball, especially with the button on top haha.

grand prix ones work, from the model before 2004, but they don't stay on if you pull up.

there's not a whole lot out there for automatics
