Not much you can do on the shape but I did swap out the original shifter with the metal finish for the OEM with the poplar wood finish. An easy DIY...

I recently swapped out my old shifter to the illuminated m5 shifter. A while back ago Schulrog was offering this. I attached his website for you. (motive mods or something like that). I bought mine from a member who bought the kit from him a long time ago. All functions work as should, but you need to purchase an additional harness made to pair the original brains of your shifter to the new one.
