Default Shift **** Deficit

There seems to be far fewer shift **** options for the the C6 then C5 and even most other sports cars/coupes......I had the stock manual ****, switched to a nice Hurst Style White Cue Ball style......doesn't seem to be much which fits directly on the single screw stick (did I just say that?)

Any suggestions?

I bought a Hurst style black ball with the corvette emblem embeded in the top a couple of weeks ago. Bought it from a vender on this sight. There were 7 or 8 styles offered. I think the vender was Tallon, not sure about the spelling but it was shipped from Lea Customs.

This might help some of the other vendors might have some others to look at.

Yup, have seen theirs, like a couple of them but abit spendy. And that is about all I have found in the non-Hurst ball style.

Thanks

What about a stitched leather-covered version of the stock shift **** from DS Vettes (complete with boot)?
