Unhappy Shifter **** Replacement

'06, 5.4 Lariat. Called the stealership to price a replacement shifter ****. My thoughts are to take it apart and modify (maybe wood?) they wanted $58.00 for just the handle!!! Personally think the stock **** is crap. Any body been able to find something nice to replace it?
Thanks,
Jim

I would like one out a Mark LT. Much nicer. I agree that the stock one is crap for a $40K+ truck. It should at least be fake wood or leather wrapped like the Mark.

Several have tried to make their own, modify, etc. ... none that I've seen have succeeded.

Yes, my idea would be to give up. Sorry, but it just doesn't look promising. If you have the budget of Pimp My Ride, then go for it. Otherwise.....

I agree - my shifter looks like it belongs in an arcade.

Here is an idea: buy this from **********_ed on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SHIFT...57555589QQrdZ1

I would like to get one, but there is no way I am going to pay what the bidding is at. The last one he did, went for $120.00. He also makes a grey leather for the Lariat, etc. Check out his ebay store. Most of his stuff is for the F250, because that is what he owns.

You can email him, he will usually make you something by request.
