I remember seeing a pic on this site from someone who did exactly that. I believe they were aftermarket parts (not the original stock), but it blended VERY well with the rest of the wood trim. I know this isnt much help. But at least we know that a solution for this problem does exist.

Any ideas for the SC400?

Yes, but the thread was posted by an SC400 owner. That picture is of a manual SC300. Our SC400's have an overdrive button on the side. This makes aftermarket shifters extremely hard to come by.

Anyway, I don't know what's under the leather on those *****, but if it's metal or hard plastic, it might be possible to veneer them. If somebody has a spare **** to experiment on, you could strip the leather and get some real wood veneer at a local lumber shop or furniture refinisher, steam it to soften it up, and then try glueing it on with some carpenters wood glue. I would imagine it would take a few tries to get it to fit the curves properly, but I bet it could be done. The it's just a matter of staining it to match your other wood trim and sealing it with polyurethane or something.
