I installed a leather covered stock shifter with contrasting stitching made by DS Vettes. I also have the DS Vettes shifter boot, e-brake boot, and e-brake handle. I like the shape and feel of the stock ****, so that's the main reason I went the DS Vettes route.

How much for the whole setup? ****, boot, brake handle and it's boot? That's my exact interior!

$376 total for the 4 pieces. Very high quality. Takes about 3 weeks from when ordered.

You've got a lot more options with a ball **** and the throw feels considerably shorter due to the much lower mounting.

I did the Carbon Fiber **** from Nakidparts. The camera flash overexposes the weave a bit but to the naked eye, the match with the '08+ console is excellent. It also shortened the overall height of the shifter about a half inch over the stock ****.

Is it safe to assume that the MGW **** will fit the stock shifter? I like the ****, just don't like the shifter itself.
