Default Shift **** insert

Just wondering if anyone makes an aftermarket shift **** insert. I hate the cheap hollow plastic feel of the stock insert. A brushed metal look would be pretty cool. Google failed me when I looked. Anyone know of one?

I just looked, maybe they discontinued it. Both just had the standard black plastic piece.

It says peel and stick, is it just a sticker or does it stick out? Seems like either option would be annoying. Wish they had a better picture.

Correct! That is a simple stick-on piece made of thin metal. It does not replace your plastic insert. No one makes a complete metal replacement, unfortunately.
