Question Automatic Shifter Knobs?

Sorry if this has been brought up, but I can't seem to find anything while searching.

I want to buy a different shift knob, and don't know where to look. The only thing I can find for the automatics is the pistol grip shifters, which I like but I want to know what my other options are.

When I took delivery of my 13 2 SS I had never sat in a camaro before. When I got in, the only thing I hated was the shifter area. The shifter looks like a scrotum with it's stitching, and the shifter area looks super cheap. So it's the first thing I tackled. The Shifter and black baseplate are from RPI and the carbon fiber I did myself. Since the pic, the traction and power covers are black too from Lupe. Satisfied now.

How was the install? I have only had the car a day so I have yet to really look at how to remove the shifter. But I agree with you, I really dislike the shift knob.

There is also the "leather boot" option. This is replacing all the plastic under the knob with the leather boot that is on the manual shift. It does not replace the knob itself but does give the shift a different look. I posted a DIY on it but I just realized that I did not take a good picture of the finished product.

This pic will give you an idea though...
