Default Automatic => Manual Shiftknob Adapter

I've seen it for other vehicles, specifically Corvettes and PT Cruisers just to name two. Anyone seen an adapter for 4th gen Camaros? It basically goes over the automatic shiftstick and has threads on it, then from what I understand a spring allows you to press down on the entire shiftknob to shift. Anyone know where to get one of these? I remember a company that sold ***** would include this adapter for an extra price, but I googled and can't find any. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Corvette Accessories Unlimited (below the C5 adaptor).

After this you will be able to knock it out of gear without a button to push. Correct.

The adaptor converts the safety mechanism ,from button to pushing down on the shift ****.

Not sure yet, I don't like any of the automatic shiftknobs that I've seen for our cars (aside from the Hurst shifter, but that won't go with the interior). I'd like to do either black and red, or true carbon fiber [not the "checkered" look] with red... something that will match the interior. I don't want to have the entire interior customized and then have a stock, wornout shiftknob and a crappy e-brake that's tornup from removing the console. Thanks for the help guys! Very much appreciated.
