Default Shift **** without stitching?

Did GM make a C7 shift **** without the stitching up the rear face?

The stitching on the **** of my '19 Z06 irritates the palm of my hand.

Thanks.

What you see (or, in this case "feel") is what you get. Simply buy a replacement you like better and slap it on... done! Doing so has always worked for me, even when I had to make my own from imported black Belgian cue-*****. All the best!

I have seen some vendors advertising shift ***** for manual tranny cars that do not have any stitching on them and some look very good. Perhaps a search using shift ***** in this section will reveal some hits.

Thanks for the replies. I like the factory C7 **** shape, just not the stitching, and would prefer to not go to a ball (if I did, I'd pick up an MGW ball to go with the MGW C7 shifter, like I did in the wife's Mustang).

I'll check out the vendors.
