There's a great question. All the vendors have great selections and www.westcoastcorvettes.com is one of them. But with all the ***** out there I still haven't decided what to put on mine. Something tells me I'll end up with a collection. Good luck with the search.

Ebay...muahahaha! Really tho, any of the vendors should be able to help you out. Don't ask what the best **** is tho. Some people like Delrin because it doesn't get hot in the sun, the lighted cueball *****, lightweight titanium or carbon fiber *****, or super heavy chrome steel, and some people even like the t-handle *****....and some people like the OEM **** best. Too subjective ya know?

I got the gripper shift **** and matching e brake handle from West Coast Corvettes. I love it! Much better feel on the longer throw.

Just to be an annoying nit-pick: Left long enough in the sun, any kind of **** will reach a relatively high temperature. Where they differ is their heat transfer rate. A metal **** will burn your hand because it releases its heat quickly. A Delrin **** won't burn your hand because it doesn't conduct heat well. Blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda, free post!

Nit-picking back...except for the metal: titanium

Carbon fiber can also be an excellent heat conductor, or a very poor conductor...depends which way you're looking at the fibers.

Free post for me too!
