DCT shifter knob trim/cover replacement help

I've been trying to find a replacement silver trim and black cover with the shift positions/M logo.

I've looked on ECS/Turner and FCP Euro. Also searched the forums. Don't want to replace the whole shifter.

And yes, I know there is an aftermarket shiny ass carbon fiber option available. Stop it with carbon fiber. It's not the 90s. Carbon fiber trim accents are about as cool as Viper Alarms and Limo Tint.

Any ideas?

Worst case you could vinyl wrap or just get it painted?

Yeah I thought about that. The M placard area could use a replacing though too. The only way to get it appears to be ordering the aftermarket carbon one or a whole new OEM shifter with boot.

The M part with the selector info is stick-on.. i know

Coby is fast and cheap and it's like $25. He has an option that isn't on his website I opted for that is $75.

FedEx delivers my shifter to him tomorrow (per tracking) I'd be surprised if it's not back in a box on its way to me within 24-48 hours.
