New Shift ****....
Guys,I need a new shift ****....I need one that'll match the new CF interior trim. Don't want too many different materials going into the interior pieces. I have found NOTHING out there that'll fit on the C6 shifter. 
I found one similar to the stock, only with real CF on top, at SSinserts.com, but the thing is designed for a threaded shifter...a la C5 or aftermarket, and the C6's is not threaded....it has a set-screw setup.
Anyone find anything out there?
thanks!!

If you feel daring, you could try this with the C5 **** of your choice.

I really wanted to get a working shift **** before the 17th....without getting a Hurst. No Hurst, I'm so tapped for money now, it's sick.....Sparky, I wish I had a wife to keep me under control!!!

That totally sounds like something I'd do!! Hell, it'd give me an excuse to go out and buy a tap and die set!! but I'd like to find something less intense for the time being. I have to do all my car work in direct sunlight, so any intensive interior work is avoided when necessary.
Thanks for the tip....I may end up going that route if'n I don't find a **** by November (Cool month in SoCal)

Then drill a hole from the front where you can't see it and tap it out for a set screw. I swear the shifter feels more precise (probably because I set the **** as low as possible). Looks great too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I was looking at the Momo, and was leary. The last **** I got, from, SS inserts used a plastic bushing that slid down over the shifter, and then you screwed the **** onto that. It came with 7 bushings, none of which fit.
Was expecting the same out of Momo...anybody have any experience with Momo? and vendors want to chime in on whether they've seen one put onto a C6?
Thanks Guys!!

I went ahead and ordered the Momo Cobra CF **** this morning from shopmomo.com those guys were really nice, great customer service.....best prices I've seen, and they are going to make sure that I have my **** by tomorrow. I give them props.
Now we'll just have to see if this **** fits this funky shifter.

Got the Momo CF Cobra shift **** yesterday, and It works fine on the C6! Three screws that hold **** onto shaft. I have the same setup on my truck's shift ****. A dab of loc-tite on the threads, crank down the screws evenly and in a rotational pattern....boom....you're good to go. The **** is nice and heavy, and narrower than the stock (good for me, I have small hands....lkie a carney) I really enjoy the feel of it...you just want to hang onto it when not shifting...feels nice.
SO, in the end, go with MOMO ***** for the C6 for right now.
