Where to find manual shift boot and console plate?

As usual I have found a part that GM has discontinued, my shifter
boot and the plate it attaches to. Does anyone make this in the aftermarket realm? Mine is pretty much destroyed.

You can also try the junk yard or get with YearOne.

Hawks has the best price for new ones ($110). Thirdgen Resource gets $140. If you can score one in a junk yard or ebay, there's a guy on Ebay that sells replacement boots in leather and vinyl. I've got a leather boot, and it seems to be a good quality piece. I'm just disappointed because it doesn't look anything like the stock boot.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll try Hawks and some of the others
mentioned. I will definately need the whole thing, the shift
pattern is gone and it's badly discolored.

I have one. I was going to try adapting it to my auto console, but gave up.

If you want it, I'll cut you a SWEET deal!

www.classicindustries.com is where I got my console plate with boot.

I make customs shift pattern indicators for 6-speeds, like the one I made for my 6-speed.

You don't happen to have any interest in making stock-type 5-speed patterns do you? I'd like to freshen up the appearance of my stock one by replacing the worn out pattern with a nice new one to compliment my new power window switches.
