Default Automatic Shift ****

I'm sure this was asked b4 but I can't seem to find a thread on it. I have an 05 automatic and love every part of it except the ugly outdated shift ****. I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade to the newer style OEM or if someone makes a nice looking aftermarket one. Thanks!

Default 08 Style Carbon - DS Vettes

I believe the 05 Vette uses the same transmission as the C5 Vettes, so I'm not sure if you can change it over to the new style shifter.

If you don't like the current silver radio bezel and decide to upgrade to the 08/09 carbon faux style, you can also get your 05 silver button on the shifter done is carbon faux also. I'm in the process of getting this done, so I'm hoping it will look good when I'm finished.
