Default Aftermarket shift **** for auto's?

I'm looking for a nice aftermarket shift **** for my 93z28 A4. I see the generic ones for sale but they have no button like the stock shifter does.

Anybody know of some options for doing this?

I made a shifter adapter and shortened the shifter. Picked up a boot from a grand prix in the yard.

Yeah I'm just mainly doing it to improve the look of the interior. Will any aftermarket **** work (b&m hurst ect)? I have a universal B&M one laying around (part number 80641) but thought it wouldn't work since the stock **** has the button and this one doesn't. Idk though...

I will have to call them and see if it will work with the **** I have. It's sort of similar to this one -
