great idea...i purchased a muz gear shift knob and took it to my cobbler....i had him cover it in black leather with the stitching on the outside....it came out fantastic...warm to the touch...and black leather to match my interier...any good cobbler should be able to cover this gear shift knob....it is on very tight and blends in great with the interier....no wrinkles or bumps on knob..
very smooth covering....i wish i had a picture but not available....

gone but still a memory
2001 z3 roadster
1999 z28 camaro ss convertable
1974 vette convertable
1976 vette coupe

 

Any pictures ??? I thought about the doing the same with any aftermarket that would fit .

 

sorry no pictures.....but have it done ..you will not be sorry..it looks and feels great....

 

What's a cobbler? Shoe-mender?

 

yes any shoe-mender can do this.....it cost me 35$ usd to have done...

 

Why not just buy it from Rick for $19?

Oops, I do believe I've misread. A tightly-wrapped leather cover would actually be pretty cool.

Here's what my Muz looks like these days:



Brushed dull and w/red numbers (and letter). Though I think it might look pretty nice in my interior covered with black leather and red stitching...
