Took eight business days. I know that doesn't seem quick, but saving $20+ dollars over ordering straight from a Chevrolet dealer is worth waiting a bit longer. Parts department guys at my dealer told me they couldn't do any better than the $76 +tax price. You would have to wait at least a few days ordering through a dealer anyway.

Never under-estimate going to NAIOA.com and asking member ZSpot for his price

Usually he beats GMPD in cost (after shipping) and he'll give you tracking information once it ships / how long if he has to order the part first.

Agreed! It's a small part but man does it make one hell of a difference. Looks like we're all slowly making the changeover to these.

Ever since I rented a '12 Impala and felt it I had to have one. Used to drive stick and have that habit of resting the hand on the shifter. Leather feels sooo much better than plastic.

GM Parts direct was about 10 days for me.

Great upgrade.

i got one and put it on and to say it is a big difference between the hunk of plastic shifter and the wraped one imo it feels different compared to the plastic one. what i mean is it doesent feel like it is uncomfortable to shift and it doesent get hot when the sun beats on it so it is a plus not just that it looks alot better than what it was before
