Show Me Your Shift Knob!

Alright so I did a search and only found a few threads with not very specific results, but I wanna see what you guys are using in the way of aftermarket shift knobs

I'm looking for a new one for my type-s, it's an A/T if that matters, and just wanted to hear yalls suggestions/see pictures.

Thanks!

On my TL, I felt like the AT shifter was a bit too small

So.......I grabbed the extra one that came with my moms 01 MDX I think it looks nice, its only slightly bigger, but just enough + its got those air holes on it

I'm sure that there are other threads dealing specifically with this, because I've posted mine before. But, here you go (6MT-Maven Mark One):

Funny I was putting my sunglasses there too, but they started to scuff the CF trim.

Like the shift knob too.

Yeah, my trim did scuff.

But, I detailed it and buffed it out, believe it or not! Now, I broke down and got one of those plastic clips for the sun visor.

Im from Puerto Rico and I have a friend that owns a machine shop and he made it for me. I took the picture of JP to him and told him I wanted something similar but with some CF inserts and the Type-s sign but with some color to it. And we went to a sticker shop and they did the design into some gel stickers.

At first I did think it was too big, but now I already got used to it and fits my hand perfectly.

My first reactions were "Whoa! What the..."
That's one unique-attention-grabbing shift knob.

Steven Bell I like your Momo Combat Evo Shift Knob. I'm considering the carbon one. Did you find a place that sells them at a good price? Best price I can find is from this place for $83.

falling boot was my fault.
you'll have more of an issue with getting the boot to fit properly.

what i did was file the inner part of the ring down a bit till it fit. except i filed a little too much on my last fitting. if you get it right it won't fall.

to fix it... just find a way to increase the size of the inner ring or the bolt/stud from the shifter.
