Anyone know where to buy a black one or if I can safely take it out and paint it??
Thanks

There is a write up on installing the TCI shifter that shows removing the stock shifter. It sure looked to me that it comes apart and could easily be painted.

I agree w/Spock

I can take it off no prob theres only one screw, its just that the O/D button wiring is there too and I'm not sure if I want to go messing around with that...lol

Here's so info on auto shifters,

Also, if you do a search for "imitator shifter" you should be able to find pics of the removal of the stock shifter and a dis- assembly of it as well.

P.S. The OD wire will just pull out, but you will have to remove the console to re-attach it.
