I have an Automatic '03 Alero and I am tired of the boring old black gear change nob. Is there a way to change it out to something a little more classy? Where do i get the new gear from? Im wanting someting with chrome since I changed the pedals to chrome now I want a different changer. PLEASE HELP!!!

I got mine from AutoZone, fits perfectly. Most universals will fit. Make sure it's got the button for the automatic.

Mines chrome and carbonfiber think I got it at pepboys, but tonight I learned that ladies with nails can't use it. I was telling my wife how it had a lip half way around the button and she tried to push it... Well with her long nails she was having all kinds of problems with it.

I noticed that many of the aftermarket shift knobs available at Autozone, etc.. Are now usable on automatics because they have a new style collar which allows you to push the whole knob down instead of having a button to push.
Oh, and i also have crank windows and have had a regulator changed, and have the clips broken.
