2012 FWD AT Shift Knob Replacement?

Hey,

The leather on my shift knob is completely worn out. The way I place my hand, my watch and bracelets continuously rub against the leather of the knob, and now it's worn out. Patches of the surface leather are gone, and it doesn't look pleasant at all. I was wondering, are there any replacement knobs? Non-leather, wood or Carbon Fiber (to match my trim)?

Thanks!

I should have just google'd it... =/ Didn't even think before asking the question.

However, after searching online (I also found install instructions) I was unable to find Carbon Fiber ones for the 2012 model year. Are there any?

if you prefer to stay with leather, there is a perforated leather option.

since it's a 2012 you can probably stop by dealer and ask for a free replacement..

They would just give it for free?... Why?... I'll give it a try, but that makes no sense to me.

My dealer replaced my paddle shifter triggers because the finish had worn off them. I have an '09 and it had about 30k miles on it at the time. It is worth the phone call.
