Default 06 GS shift **** on 2nd gen GS?

I was sitting in a few 06 GSes at dealer today while waiting for warranty work and I noticed the shifter **** in the cashmere interior(formerly known as ivory) looked to be the same colors as the one in my 01 GS w/ivory interior.(grey leather and wood). the rounder, fatter shift **** felt and looked kinda cool.

I wonder if it would screw on and match well.

this is the only pic I could find of that color ****. what do you think? if anyone has a closer, or better pic, please post it.


here's a pic just to show shape etc.., but this isn't the color I'm talking about

I didn't like it at first & in pics either. but it looks pretty good in person. it's not as plain as 2nd gen and it fits in your hand nice.

You should have unscrewed the one from the new 430 and swapped it into your car is the wood the same though?

I had a sc430 redone in blackwood on my old gs but I was wondering if it would screw onto the new Gs and fit right.
