Default Shift *****.. what looks best?

I want to start "personalizing" my "new to me" 01 coupe (6-spd). I saw a billet aluminum shift **** that I thought looked good. I need to get some input as to what I can add/do to dress things up a bit. Show me some pics & please let me know where you got it. I will post a pic of the interior as is & look forward to some feedback for upgrades to my interior.
Thanks guys.

I got the Hurst Classic black ball shift **** when I installed my Hurst shifter. I like the retro look and feel. Very solid!!

I am still up in the air about what I am going to get. But I should decide since I've owned the car 3 years now. I do like the shape and feel of the stock **** though. That is probably the reason I haven't bought a new one. The only thing is, is that's it's such a boring looking ****. It has everything else going for it but looks. Glad you posted this maybe someone will have one I like too.

I have a MOMO Race Air Leather that I got from LAPD. No pics, but LAPD should have them on their site.

You can't go wrong with Vette Essentials custom leather interior acc's.
I have several items from them, including the shift ****, and the quality and workmanship are top notch!

Mine is fairly plain but "classy" IMHO and it feels good to the hand.

My 6 yr old niece thought Uncle Dave's racecar looked best with this one. I'll make sure she has this **** in her first car.
