Default Shift ***** for Automatic

I have seen several ads for aftermarket shift ***** for standards. But none for automatics. Are there any out there?

Nope.

Most upgrade with Down South Vettes 2 tone leather and/or Carbon Fiber cover.

DSV leather and custom airbrush for me.

Check with Souther Car Parts. I believe they have an adapter for the automatic so you can install other *****.

DSV has shown some for the A6 in a slightly different/elongated shape.

They also have a variety of 'stock' models in various leather/stitching colors and CF, and two-tones.

APSis also has some models to choose from.

I like that. $200 for a shifter **** is (to me) is a bit much. My leather Shifter Boot, Brake Boot and Padded Arm Rest Cover all together was $200.

Those are great looking. The silver painted part of my stock **** is kinda loose feeling. Hopefully I don't have to replace it to fix it.
