Default Aftermarket/custom A4 shift *****

Everytime I shop for shift ***** the only ones I can find are for standards. I know some of you out there have custom shiftknobs in your A4s. I would like to see pics of what you all have, where you got them, etc etc etc. I saw a member on here who had set up a "pistol grip", forward shifting style shifter on his 4L60e. It looked sick but I don't want to have to do any cutting or anything to get it to work. So, post the pics if you got 'em!

I know.... Many of them point back to eachother or the images are broken. I posted them to show that this is a well covered topic that could have been answered through searching. Also some of those posts talk about different options and how to remove/install those differnet options.

VIP1 I searched. There are way to many threads with too many dead pics for me to spend all that time sifting through them when I could just post this. If it upset you you did not have to reply. I like the Trailblazer one, that looks clean. I like the MBA ***** but I still want mine to have the auto shifter look. Any more pics?

Hey luckyou02 I was curious if you found any other ***** you liked. I do like your setup as well, but I could never bring myself to put a Dodge **** in my car. The 05 Gto's have a similiar **** in the auto's to what you have, even though I think the Dodge is more refined and the Gto comes with the boot as well.

I was thinking of switching over to the Gto **** and I just dont know if I would like the pistol type ****. How do you think you **** compares to a T ****? Thats one of the reasons I went with the Trailblazer ****, it's different but a T like I like. I have big hands and like to rest my hand on the shifter.

Anyway any input to how you like the **** or maybe a few more suggestions would be great. I'm going to keep the TB **** for a little while, but I always keep an eye out for something I might like better.

I have a leather T/A t style ****. Had to drill the top of the **** to get it to work though. Stock one drove me nuts since I couldn't rest my hand on it.
