Hi, does anyone know if you can buy an illuminated 6 speed gear knob emblem with ///m on it?

Like this but clear for illuminated knobs

Ones from an E36 m3 evo or E46 M3 are six speed, illuminated and the right shape as well as all in one with the gaiter. Just need to swap the plastic frame for an E30 one.

Cheap way is to buy an non lighted emblem and carefully scrape the paint out of the gate pattern. Might be a bit "council" as you guys say but it works. My first lighted shift knob was done this way, I now have the one piece boot/knob.
