Perforated leather gear shift knob for GT2

[KAS]

I've seen a photo of a GT2 with a perforated leather gear shift knob and have been searching various KIA Stinger websites, eBay, Aliexpress, etc. but can't seem to find a place where I can buy one. Does anyone know a retailer that sells these? (I'm assuming it's not a custom one-off piece.)

Hi KAS,

I was searching for the same today, but not finding much beyond CF OEM and third-party replacements.

Anyone have the part numbers for the GT2 leather shift knob cover? Perforated or old version would be helpful.

Thanks

I don't think KIA has ever made a shift knob cover in perforated leather (although I'm more than happy to be corrected). I can't find anything about a perforated leather cover from aftermarket suppliers so I think it must have been a one-off custom piece, unfortunately. Considering buying a standard leather shift knob cover and paying a motor trimmer to re-trim it with perforated leather.

pretty sure its new for 2023 - the 2023 i test drove def had the perf leather shifter.

HOWEVER ... there don't seem to be any photos of it with a Google search. ????

i had to take a screenshot of a 2023 review video to get a pic.

It exists! I was beginning to wonder if I'd imagined the whole thing.

Now to see if any websites can get them and ship to Australia...

even the 2022 parts catalog is still hard to find online. Who knows when we'll be able to get the '23 part numbers.

The perforated shift knob is part of the Grand Tourer package I have a regular ‘23 GT2 and mk shift knob is not perforated

I have the Grand Tourer package and can confirm my shift knob is perforated.
