So i was at the Yard today, and i was getting some graphite seatbelt receivers for the Formula......anyways as i look over at a Bonneville next to the car i am removing the receivers from, i noticed the shift **** and figured since i work for this junkyard it'll be cheap to try it out in my car. i didn't like the way my stock **** looked with the 4th gen console because of the manual boot. the 03 Bonneville one has a raised area where the boot fits into and holds it there. i like it. It also is lower and has the grooves for your fingers in the fromt and actually feels better when you shift tthan the stock ****. i also liked the color better as it matches the console better than the stock one did.

Looks Great!

 

I like it..

I've been trying to find a nice looking replacement for mine too.
Can anyone else suggest anything else?

 

Is it leather or plastic? You said Bonneville and I think leather, but I look and see molded plastic?

 

Molded Plastic

 

I actually like the Pontiac Grand Prix shifter better, looks more like a manual than the T-handle
