Automatic shifter knobs

[PAULIE B]

Thinking of changing the shift knob on my 2002. I like the manual phantom shifter. Any suggestions. (it is an automatic). MAM & Ecklers don't have them. What do you guys recommend.

This is what I did.

Hey Rich,
I like it. But, I want to change the whole thing. With the button in the front. I don't care very much for the button on top. I that's the vette look but I want to change it. Where did you get that one so i can look at them. Thanks, Paul

I used the original and had the carbon fiber installed by Pat at American Hydrocarbon.

Shift knob in a carbon fiber woodgrain.

I've been on the hunt for some time now. I've Google it and fell asleep looking at all the different knobs. Most are junk, some need a special $60.00 kit to get them to work on a A4. I'm trying to add a subtle hint of wood-grain to my interior. I'm not a big fan of torch red, which oddly is the most popular color for interior parts. Torch red seats, Torch red steering wheels, Torch Red carpets, torch red and , Oh did I mention how many interiors are in torch red, like everywhere. I saw so much TR I gave up on looking at anymore. It's a shame that Corvettes are only seen as a sports car when they are in Torch Red.

I saw a 1990 convertible a few years back that was in a nice color of Green and it had a buckskin colored top and interior. Years ago I saw a lot of Corvettes in the seventies in Blue or Steel city Gray and Silver or a few in a neutral sort of brownish mist like the collector edition 1982. But the Corvette community has really leaned towards TR. I have a 50th Anniversary red. A good liveable red. It's got depth, a great color with a nice wax on it. Torch Red to me is very hard to see any depth or fabulous shine. At least to me I can't see the overpowering draw to TR. But that's just on persons take on Corvette Colors. :eyerole

In the C5, I haven't seen that much in the way of Torch Red. I had TR interior in my white 94 and love the color combo. But when I started looking at C5's I did not find one. Now that I have had mine for a while I've run across a couple.

Paulie, keep us posted on what you find. One like in my 03 Bonneville might work.
