I actually like the stock shifter. I guess it's a matter of taste.
I had no idea they clear coated such things. What was I supposed to do to maintain it properly? Wax it? Sorry - bit of a noob when it comes to detailing.

That's not clearcoated. I was just comparing it to a common problem - clearcoat failure.
To maintain that (I assume it's leather) you need to apply a leather cleaner/conditioner every month or two to keep it in great condition.
If it's vinyl, apply 303 Aerospace Protectant to the shift ****.

From that picture, the **** doesn't look like metal at all. I guess it could be clearcoated then. Still, I'm afraid you'll need to get a new one. Maybe someone at your local dealership will know what the cause was, and how to prevent it. If it's metal, you could try applying a sealant/wax to it (the new one).

Yeah the inner part is metal. When I first got the car I thought it was brushed aluminum but I guess not. Sucks to have to replace it. I'm going to be selling the car in the summer and the current shifter **** is going to detract from the "perceived" value of the car so it's gotta go.
Thanks for the replies.
