Shift knob frustration...

Why would Acura make a burlwood knob and not a blackwood??
Does anyone know where to get one custom made blackwood?

well honestly, i like the TL-P leather shift knob ... nice grippy feel... i saw a Type S knob in the dealership, sitting in the cupholder and cud have easily have pocketed but it didnt look nice to me so i left it there... not sayin the Type S knob is bad, just not my cup of tea... just like im not too fond of the wooden knobs

but yeah a matching knob wud be nice ... maybe ask acura to make one for u? =)

I'm pretty sure Lexus sells a combo black leather/black wood shift knob that should fit our cars.

I know for a while I wanted to be unique and get the leather/wood shifter for my TL, but just decided to get the Acura one at a cheaper price.

Perhaps one of you could check this avenue out....

I just checked out the Lexus one, its from a GS300 98-2000. It doesn't really match too good but it is nice. I found a place in Cali that wood custom make one if I send them a piece of blackwood I didn't use on my dash kit and a solid shiftknob. The only problem is it will probobly set me back 300-350 bucks
