Replacement 2008 TL 6 Speed Knob

The finish on my 2008 Acura TL Type S 6 Speed is coming off and I'm looking for a good aftermarket replacement. Any suggestions?

A bunch of broken links and missing images. Cool. co-co-co-cool. To sum up those threads:

Check out

Raceseng shift knobs


I have to pick one up but I've read a number of reviews and from what I've read they are worth it even though they are a pretty penny.


If you haven't done so I highly suggest installing a short shifter.

The silver finish was coming off on mine as well, so I peeled it off completely and sprayed it with truck bed liner spray paint, and painted inside the lines with white paint. I went with the bed liner paint since I wanted to make sure it was durable enough to not quickly wear off from my hand. Since I had everything already on hand, it cost nothing, and IMO it came out looking good. I had nothing to lose, since I was planning to buy a new one (09+ TL knob since it's nearly identical, but cheaper).



While I had it off, I also shortened it a little bit (screwed it down further): https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p.../#post16086061 .

the New Accord's six speed knob comes directly from the Civic type-R!!! and it looks great to boot!
