Haven't run across this thread yet, but is there anywhere I can buy an overlay or kit to make my auto shifter look like an 05-06 with the brushed aluminum in the middle section? Make sense? Mine is completely black with the billet sleeves although I can not for the life of me find the middle portion.

 

Any reason you can't just by the shift handle for a 05 GT w/ IUP from your Ford Dealer?

 

There is no overlay for the shifter. You have to buy a completely new IUP shifter handle from Ford. It's around $93.00 or so at the dealer. Give 05stangKC a shout and see what he can do for ya. I had to have mine replaced (under warranty) due to the black slider thingy rubbing/marring the aluminum.
