Interior/Exterior Stainless trim on auto shift knob?

Stainless trim on auto shift ****?
Anyone know whether the stainless trim on the automatic shift **** is removable? I have the steptronic shifter, by the way. My uncle is really into woodworking, and It'd be cool to have the shifter with wooden trim.
Also, how easy is it to remove the leather/plastic handle from the parking brake lever?

I got the boot on, but man what a nightmare. The holes in the leather were simply not big enough to go over the plastic clips, and I came very close to breaking a few of the clips. I kept shoving bigger and bigger things through the holes in the leather trying to widen the holes to make them easier to install, but was just not having any luck. Now the tips of my fingers are sore from trying to pull that leather over one side while pushing on the back of the clip from the other side to try and keep it from breaking. I would not want to have to do that again!!!

Blimey - do you have a pic of the stock shift **** removed? I read in another thread that the linkage comes out with it... I want to compare this with the steptronic shifter on the E46/E90 BMWs and see if those ***** will fit, they also have a linkage attached that comes out with the ****.

Yeah, got it off last night. It's really not all that hard - getting it back in was a little scary though, the plastic shaft seems sort of brittle and I was sure it was going to break.
It looks very similar to the BMW steptronic ***** off the E46/E90 3-series. I'm going to see if I can find one cheap and try it. If I can pick a used one up for like $10, it would be worth it. I would love to replace the automatic **** with something that works just like factory.
If that doesn't work out, I'm just going to pick up a real nice manual ****.
