Well, there have been a few that have went custom. One thing to consider, the new knob would need a mechanical button for reverse lock out. Like the stock knob.
I wouldn't advise by-passing the lock out. Have you looked in the archives ?
A former member CJ did a cool billet pistol grip on his '06 automatic, it had the button as well.

That button seems to be what makes it hard to find a custom one. The only replacement knob that ive seen in a search is the Dorman plastic one

With Oldblue, I followed a thread for a custom shifter and fabbed up this,
Press down on the handle to release the shifter lock
Custom shifter knob from American Shifters
A threaded rod fits into a housing of copper plumbing pipe
Custom engraved knob
It fits down of the OEM shifter
The top end , a pipe nipple.
Then a pipe coupler, soldered onto 1/2 copper pipe
The inner threaded shaft
Press down on the handle to release the shifter lock

Yes, I just push down to disengage the lockout
