recommendation for shift ****

my 2005 MCS shift **** had been worn out as the chrome is peeling off

I'm not a fancy shift **** guy, just want to know is there any quality replacement with relatively ok price.

thanks!

I love the stock shift ****, it's nice and round and it's comfortable.

Keep an eye out for a used Whalen **** on ebay or in the market place. I got mine with a nice engraved design pattern for only $75 shipped making it cheaper then the JCW **** and man does the extra weight feel nice.
