I know most of the shift knob stuff is for manuals, but are there any mods for the Auto shift levers/knobs? Just curious...
Yup...lots of options out there. You may find some of the nicer ones at bimmian.com

Well I finally ordered the stock ZHP knob. I'm still pissed I didn't catch that when I bought the car. Didn't know as much as I do now.
Congrats. It's a great shift knob.
How do you remove the old one and install the new one?
Typically you just pull the one off -- and push the other one on.
I'd recommend putting the car in 2nd, 4th, or 6th -- so that it is closest to you. You don't twist the knob off. You just pull it straight off. It can be a chore. Be careful not to punch yourself in the face.
Definitely do a video!
