Default C7 Auto Stickshift MOD

Lets see how many like this and how many think its not for them!

After seeing how the new 2015 C7s have a Corvette insignia on top of the stick shift, I thought that it would be nice to have something made for the 2014 C7 automatic shifter. As we all know, the C7 automatic shifter has a blank aluminum top and looks very plain. I found a new product for our C7s that can solve this problem or simply a desire to improve this perception.

This item comes in different background colors and different tops. It is an easy install -- simply sticks on top of the shifter using 3M glue. My experience with this item is that it is well made and will last a very long time. It looks much better in person. My camera phone is not that great. You can find it in EBay; use C7 Shifter as search if interested. No endorsement suggested here but it is a nice mod IMHO.

Looks great. Who makes it? Where can we buy it? What's the cost?

OK, found it.

Very nice mod but I would center it a little lower down than what you did so the tips of the emblem are eqadistant from the metal edge as the bottom of the emblem is.

just tried to buy one, they are all sold out. Hopefully someone else will come up with something very similar. I wonder why he had so few to sell?

Maybe the seller was just testing the waters with small batch from his supplier. Hopefully, someone will pop back up with same or similar for sell. Or perhaps one of our forum vendors is paying attention
