I think there was one vendor that had made one, but due to the difficulty in installing and the breaking of parts no one is doing it.

Nothing on the market. I do paint the OEM caps, DSV can offer you replacement leather ***** in your choice of stitch and color.

I swapped my A4 shifter for the A6 and love the feel, now maybe if the market comes up with a unique A6 **** I will consider it...

What was involved in the swap? Can you install an A4 shifter in the A6? I dislike the A6 **** so much I would consider installing an A4 shifter and buying a decent A4 ****.

Momo makes the ONLY replacement **** for the A6 - the problem is that this ****, like the one on the A4, is a top-button ****. It take a Dremel tool, some skill, and lots of patience to try to get it to work on an A6. I know of one person who has done it, and he regretted it. Anything else is merely someone putting replacement leather in for the boot and/or painting some picture or glueing some piece of plastic onto the standard A6 ****. These aren't really REPLACEMENT *****. DSV doesn't do REPLACEMENT ***** - they modify what you already have. They do great work, but the OP asked about REPLACEMENT *****, not works of art.

Then why didn't you just say that there are no replacement *****? While your upgrade is quite nice, and DSV does great work, that isn't what the OP asked about.
