Shift Knobs
 

I'm planning to do a bit of interior work in my car in the middle of January. I ordered a new bride shift boot, short throw shifter from axialflow, planning to re-do my silver trim pieces with 3m di-noc, and now just want to top it all off with a shift knob. I'm just wondering what knobs you guys are all using. I want something either carbon fiber or polished black. So far I've found...

black pearl. very expensive though. don't want to pay that much

Is there anything I should look for or stay away from? I would like a ball shape like the black pearl one but at a lower price.

I would go with the black peral shift knob. It looks 20x better than the other 2 options. Its metal so it will get hot, but the other 2 look cheap with the carbon fiber print. Unless it is real carbon fiber I feel it is just dumb to buy it. If you don't want metal look for a poly material. Most quality shift knobs are gonna run you around 100 though.

At Goodwin Racing, take a look at the Miata section too. They have a different selection and the threads are the same.

I went this route in the polished black. $50 shipped beats $169 + shipping any day for a shift knob.

Thanks for the help.

Voo Doo w/ pearl finish. Matches the trim on the either side of the center console perfectly.

This is where I get mine made, in case you want to go custom. Mine are custom counter-weighted, and being non metallic, they stay cool in the sun etc....

Pics of yours? Or is it in the "Let me see your Shift Knob" thread?

It is there too, but here is a kinda crappy picture.

Bruce is a really cool dude, so if you wanna go crazy and be creative. Knock yourself out.

Just came fromt eh Kool Knobs website... may have to be my first upgrade to my new Shinka!!

I recommend it, the quality is great, and it is nice to have something one of a kind.

OP- i bought that sparco one. i think it looks good.

I ended up purchasing a black polished voodoo and love it. Combined with the axial flow, the car is completely different when shifting. I'll post a picture later today with my phone.
