And don't forget the shift boot -- either modifying the C5 boot to work with the groove on the C6 ****, or buying a replacement boot ready made to fit. For the $ vs. effort, I took the easy way and just bought a finished boot from VetteEssentials. Very happy with the final look/fit.

That looks sharp! Where did you get the parking brake boot and handle with the matching stiching?

No effort at all to fix the stock shift boot: just cut about 1/2 " off the top so that it will fit over the lower part of the new shifter **** (inverted from below). I found an oring at a plumbing supply that fit over the groove in the **** (I took the C6 **** with me to fit). The oring holds the stock boot onto the groove on the lower edge of the ****. Easier to do than describe. DBD
