They have a new replacement Auto shift knob for the automatics, it's from Japan though but it looks great
Here are some pics:

i think it's for the gated autos, cuz that one doesn't have a button.

I like my stock shifter. I don't think we'd want to use that one anyway since OD is gone as SoSlow says.

You could always reroute the od switch else where. Or maybe it is OD off for 3rd gear only.

I think the OD is located at the front or at the side. This shift knob looks kinda similar to the new RAZO shift knob that's coming out, instead of pressing that middle piece button to shift to Drive/reverse, you'll have to press/push the knob down.
I don't know how much is this TRD knob, but u might wanna ask and request David about it.
And for the smilar Razo shift knob, it's expensive because it's made out of titanium metal, the price is $180

what i meant was that the large button on the top of the gt-s knob is missing, the one tht let's you slide it up and down. . . if there's no button to lock it in place (on the new knob), then it can be accidentally knocked out of drive. the car in the picture is gated, and therefore doesn't need a button. i guess you could use the knob and just be careful, or lik pinoyracer said, perhaps you push down on the knob to move it.

They also have a new knob for manuals:

It comes with 5- and 6-speed patterns that can go on top (where the TRD is).
