It would be damn cool if u had a CL-P, but yo have the "type S" nob. i do not understand why people change out their S nob for fake burl wood or some after market stuff, when i think ours looks very unique to start with.

i have heard many positive compliments regarding my 'type S' knob which leads me to believe that i shouldn't consider replacing it with anything else. i just thought i'd share that with everyone.

I bet it looks phat in person.

Take a pic from a lil farther away... with less reflections.

Turn off the flash.

Give us a persons view of it.

Alot of negatives..... I stripped my logos outside and kinda wanted to the same inside. The stock S knob doesn't fit the palm of my hand. This MOMO fits like it was made for a auto-shift. I'm gonna post natural light pics tommorrow. I appreciate the comments, but, I LOVE MY KNOB!

Not my cup of tea either, but we didn't buy it either, you did, and that's what it's about, what you want.

Nothing against you “EBONY” guys, but looking at the picture makes me SOOOOOO glad I have the Parchment interior with the BROWN trim.

Well I like it. I will be replacing mine this weekend. I think the type-s logo looks cool, but frankly, the knob sucks. it has the worst feel in my hand. I use SS all the time, so I want something that feels nicer. Something a little more ergonomic.

Type S Smokes All,

You asked so I'll tell you.

1. Its NOT fake. The burlwood is 100% burlwood.

2. The burlwood knobs are "Precision-machined trim ring" which matches vehicle specifications for a custom fit.

3. Ergonomically shaped and comfortable to use and handle. The burlwood knob (and others) have such a smooth feel and size that its almost zen-like having your hand on it.

4. How unique can your stock knob look when almost every other S has one JUST LIKE YOURS.

Now get your hands on this knob! ;D

290HP

While not a fan of the carbon look I'll bet the new one feels much better than the smallish Type-S knob.
