What do you think of this knob ***Opinions Wanted***



I was looking at this knob http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33703 because I currently have an aluminum ones and it gets really cold in the winter and hot in the summer. So I was thinking that this one would not get hot or cold.

Got Some more competitors for my new shift knob and I am having trouble deciding so I will take your input. I have a CG TSX with quartz interior.

I dislike the 4th one, those 4 huge screw holes look pretty uncomfortable

I like the second and third ones (both Momo). I kinda like the second one better, but it would be a toss up cause they both look nice.

Don't get the second one. I had it on my golf for 3yrs and it got badly tarnished. No amount of polishing got the shine back. The leather also was pretty warn and the holes will plug up with dust and dirt.

The metal does tarnish easily. If it were a chrome surface it would look better. This is what my knob looks like now:









Notice the missing MOMO button that would normally be on top. It fell off after about 9 months of service. Momo makes some good stuff but I wasn't blown away by the quality of this knob.

That knob came off my Golf when I sold it. I'm just using the stock TSX knob until I machine a new one in a month or so.
