Default Pic Request: Automatic Shift ****

Anyone have a pic of a replacement Automatic Shift **** on their car? I'm thinking about getting one in brushed aluminum from Mid America for $40 . . . .








Thanks!!

You can have this one for $10, it has some marks from removal and I started to polsh them out, but never finished. I went to something else. Let me know.

It is custom. Contact Stuart (of StuzVette fame) for details - he makes them for an extremely reasonable price out of billet aluminum

there's a few drawbacks with any aluminum shift ****. It gets colder then hell in the winter... and can fry your hand when the **** is exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

Since my C5 is not my daily driver (and always garaged), I don't have either of those problems though.

Does not go with the rest of my interior or exterior. I went to a Delrin C5R shifter and 6 Speed adapter. Like it much better.
