Default Any good shift *****?

When I bought my V it had a T grip on it. I'm not crazy about it and want to try something else. I was thinking just the suede one everyone has.
Is it fairly easy to do it yourself? Not sure how this one is attached or if they're all pretty much the same. I tried google and YouTube but came up empty handed.

get a suede V2 shift ***.. I did and I am extremely happy with it. Looks great feels great and it really compliments the interior like it should have been there from day 1.

TWM weighted is the way to go. What shifter do you currently have?

Ooo those TWM's are very classy.. Hadn't heard of them before.

And sorry Garrett, I haven't posted enough to get classifieds yet, whatcha got?

And I've got katech short throw with a B&M T grip. I like it, but kinda think I'd prefer a more traditional grip. Plus it's aluminum and is crazy hot if I leave it parked in the sun for very long.

Mine is the same finish... Satin silver. Matches the interior piece as he said. Gets warm in the sun but not too hot. Assuming the satin finish helps for that. Mine is the piston model but very similar to the one he has. On my katech threaded all the way down, it's nice and short where I like it.
