Looking for auto shifter **** replacement

Does anyone know where I can get a decent automatic shifter **** for my 03? The one that's in my car now is the cheap chrome coated plastic one and it's chipping. I've looked at accessory places but it looks as if they only have ***** for manual transmission Coopers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Looking around on their website, it didn't appear they made them for autos. Am I stuck with this crappy flaking chrome covered plastic ****?

... but Doug Whalen will no longer *knowingly* make a **** for an auto...

And his manual **** isn't a perfect fit for the auto... it works, but it isn't perfect.

FWIW, you don't really NEED the button and linkage of the stock auto ****. The car works just fine without. I have this **** custom fitted for mine...
