dude u need to clean your interior !! but other than that, I like your pedals =)
I kinda prefer the look of the stock knob over aftermarket ones, but maybe this one have more weight and provides a more positive feel

No offense, but I kinda like the look of the stock shifter better. I think the momo boot comes up too high. The stock shifter is a little small though. I was looking at getting this one.

Yeah,

Car needs to be washed inside and out... the knobs both have a much better feel than stock... stock feels small and gay... the first one was a bit too large the new all brushed one has the same ease of use as the stock one, but the look is so much better because the boot and the knob screw together, making it all one piece.

I just got that one on eBay for about $50 delivered, it's a snap to install (has set screws instead of thread) and is much more comfortable, to me, than the small girlie stock one. Plus, I never understood the champagne color of the stock knob given the interior has aluminum- or wood-colored accents. The Momo looks and feels much better to me.

Plus, I think it's good for about 4 whp!

Why is the knob sitting so low?
My DC5R knob sits way too high on the TSX shifter.

No Cutting... and what is this Momo doesnt look good on TSX... the stock shifter is so small and the stock boot is made of crappy plastic/nylon/crap! The Momo boot is leather jacket quality leather. As for how low it is... when you put the rubber stopper into the momo knob and then push the knob down on the post, this is how low it goes... looks sweet like a much sportier shift... still the same throw without the comptech short shifter, but the look is much more like the NSX... i didnt plan for that, but it just happened and now when i drive a stock tsx it feels a lot less sporty... the shift is set too high.

but that is just my

I think my Momo matches up the interior leather and trim nicely.

I don't know, I'm still feelin the stock one as far as looks. The Momo's just look to thick at the base. I wish there was one that was as round as the leather Momo but more tapered at the base.

Just for size comparison:

Has anyone put one to the Momo handbrakes on? Without a doubt those look better than stock.

I completely agree, I have never seen an after market shift-knob that didn't look like a cheap cereal-box prize. Stock looks great, works great. Looks like a toy.

the only complaint i have about the stock knob is that it is relatively light... but other than that.. the position of the stock knob, the size, and the materials used is just about as good as it gets!

This REALLY comes down to personal preference, it's interesting to hear so many people prefer the stock knob. I hated it but wanted something that complemented the interior and went with the same one JTso has. Feels great, looks great, I actually get compliments from passengers (unsolicited).

The only downside to the Momo, for me, is that it's actually lighter than stock, and a little taller it seems. Time for a short-shifter!

Saw this one posted on another forum. I'm not really feeling the wood look or Combat shape, but I think the taller more ergonomic ones might look better.



Maybe something like this.
