Default dipstick

Is there any options for a nicer dipstick for a 05-06 gto oil pan. Has anyone used the lokar Universal dipstick ed5008? Or do you guys know of anything that will fit or work.
Thanks

The standard Lokar dipstick is too short. I wouldn't recommend it.

But,
If you're willing to do the work, they make a 36" length dipstick that's near $100 bucks. You can then remove the braid and the wire to make it the needed length. It's not worth it most cases. But, I could not use the OEM tube in my setup and had to opt for the latter. Looks nice too.

Only dipstick i've used after market wise is lokar but that is for the transmission. Never anything for the actual motor since it sits in there nice and easy. Could always buy a billet handle anodized top for your stock one and then have the shaft of it powder coated to look better if that is what you want.
