Which shift knob?

ok, I'm terrible at decisions, its bad, now I've been looking for a shift knob because the new 06 TL i just bought is all kinds of torn up, I'm thinking of a skunk 2 or a factory one, I'm thinking that the skunk 2 is going to be quite cold in the winter (like now) anyone have any experience with this? looked on eBay and saw a lot of things i don't think i want on my car. Spending 60$ on a shift knob i want to make a good decision here thanks for your input!

It's all opinion, but I posted a link to some good stuff in this thread.

Again, it's all opinion, to some, quality is ivory wrapped with suede and some gold flake, to others, it's a raw piece of steel, I bought a shift knob from eBay similar to this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-MOMO-RACING-Carbon-Fiber-Stick-Shift-Lever-Knob-Shifter-Mazida-Honda-/251523466327?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a8ff78457&vxp=mtr

I'm very happy with it, it could use some work on my end as far as mounting, but I doubt I replace it.

I linked to the NRG's which I discovered after spending money on the eBay shift knob. Rockstar seems happy with his NRG (scroll to bottom), but it fits his taste, so I re-iterate, the "perfect" "quality" shift knob, is personal taste.

I think the best shift knob I've touched so far is the 3G TL. Nice shape and feel.
I would go to the dealer and buy it for the $100 or so it is.

A shift knob that gets cold in the winter isn't near as bad as one that gets scalding hot in the summer, lol. I can't use a sold metal knob any more because its just unbearable. I used to have to keep a towel in the car to hold it with.

I got a Civic SI shift knob which is leather wrapped metal. A bit pricey but really nice, and exceptional quality.
