2005-2007 you literally need to just pull the shift boot down from the **** on the shaft and it will reveal a screw. Remove the screw and the **** will pull straight up and off.
2008+ You need to rotate the chrome trim ring at the base of the boot counter clockwise 1/4 turn and lower it on the shaft to reveal the screw. Remove the screw and the **** will pull straight up and off.

well, pretty sure i am going to go with the leather ebrake handle and the black **** with the C6 logo on top.. I really like that **** & hoping it won't look to akward since the exterior color of my car is black it will still match.. I am kinda weird about the whole matching thing..

Get the black Hurst ball with the white shift patern. It matches the white print of everything on the dash board and looks OEM. I thought the red shift patern would be cool too, since my Vette is VR, so I bought that one first, but it looked out of place, so I returned it for the black with white patern. No
matter what color you get, the ball makes shifting sooo much better.

Shift ****
If you have done a custom shift **** for a manual C6..(autos welcome too) What did you do with your ebrake handle?? Did you keep it leather or customize it another way..?? Pics of what you have done would be great.. I am wanting to do a customized manual shift **** but wasn't sure if it would look ok with the ebrake handle being leather... Opinions.?? Pics?? thanks in advance! 
Tonya
Tonya Shift **** started with 304 CRES, mirror polished finished dimension is 1 1/2" Dia. x 2 3/4" long. Shift **** is threaded 9/16"-18 and is threaded 2 1/2" deep. My shifter is MGW with threaded stem. Shift **** has double taper on OD and transition to straight towards the top portion. It is threaded and rest only 1/4" above the threaded stem. It appears to be long but in actuality, same height as stock, it (the mass) sits low as indicated by the bunch up shift boot cover. In shake hand position (with thumb resting on counter sunk and engraved top) or palm down position (with fingers and heal of palm wrap around the radius top), either fitment are very natural and comfortable . I also made one for another CF member Spying Beast but it is out of high grade aluminum T6 alloy; also mirror polished along with exact dimensions. Sorry for the long wind, I get intense when describe things I fabricate for my toys. Enjoy! 
I will be buying mine..
