You can get a new shifter plate with the cupholders attached from Richard at Mazdastuff.com for about $65.

I had wanted to hack mine off, but didnt know that I would be able to re-thread it again if I chose to keep the stock shifter on there so I just got the universal shift knob that has the rubber cap and friction lock system.

Yeah sure you could call it 'poser' if you would like to. But you know what I will take an automatic any day of the week. But that doesnt mean I dont LOVE how a manual shifter looks....(in most cases)
