, I am very happy with how it turned out. The last thing I need to do is get a matching steering wheel, but that will have to wait until this winter at the earliest....

Ideas for mod interior shift ****?
Years ago when I had my last C5, I found a round black and red leather shift ****. Looked AWESOME, felt AWESOME. Looking for something to go with my Mod interior of my Z06.
Ideas and/or suggestions?

I got mine over at http://vetteessentials.com/ Torch red/black with c6 z06 ****. I love it. They've got some cool options over there.

I did the C6 shifter as well. Dennis at Double D did the leather wrap to match my shale interior. The shift **** is sitting on an MGW shifter. I used the old boot but plan on getting something a little nicer over the summer.

Those look good, I almost bought one myself. All of these so far are nice. I like the C6 *****/shifters as well, but I just can't get myself to mix match two generations of vettes. I know, I'm silly that way.

I usually follow the same generational rule, however the C6 shift **** does look great and it doesn't have a C6 logo on it like other components (wheels/steering wheel).

The c6 ***** use a pin method instead of threaded rod, so it would't work without some modification. They do sell c5 boots with custom wrap colors, or you could ask them if they could make a c6 **** fit. I know there are a few other companies that retrofit the c6 ***** for c5 shifters.

I'm a fan of 8-ball shifters myself. I plan on doing a short throw soon and putting this ball on it:
