The pattern is painted onto the console. I just lightly sanded the paint off of mine. I was thinking of painting it myself but never got around to it. My new Hurst shifter ball should be arriving today though. It has the 6 speed gate pattern inscribed onto the knob. It is also bigger than the stock leather wrapped ball (I think it's 2 14" diameter). That should be sufficient for me. You can get it from Jeg's. Part # 530-163-0116. It costs $29.99. I'll let everyone know how it feels and looks.
