IROC-Z Shift ****?

So my car came with this shift **** in it.

I'll admit since I've owned the car the acrylic/plastic face has cracked and the leather has begun to peel off and get warped. I'm going to have it redone and make a new cover for the face.

My question is has anyone seen these before? Every third gen I see has a plain leather covered ball for a shift ****, and I've searched everywhere to find a replacement for this one or one like it. The only one I've found is the one on Hawk's but the IROC-Z emblem is horrible looking, while this one perfectly matches the font of the skirt and bumper emblem (aside from the line weights and tri-color).

It's aftermarket and I've never seen one like it before. You're best bet is to keep searching.

Yeah I figured it wasn't factory, but it's nice enough (or was) to be a factory option.

That's the plan. Gonna have the leather re-done and fix the face.

I'd agree it was from a center cap if it had the correct line-weight and tri-color design.
