I have had the pearl since july of last year and love it. One of the nicest additions you can really feel behind the drivers seat.

Just picked up a Pearl myself... interested to see how these feel... might go with a heavier shift knob later, but at ~$50 shipped, it's a pretty good price for a knob of this type.

I'll be buying one of these shift knobs in Piano Black early next year, can someone let me know how it feels and their experience with it? I really love the look of the Piano Black- reminds me of the look of Titanium (T1R TI Shift knob)!

Try using a fine steel wool to refinish it. What ever caused the scratches will probably happen again but if it does, refinish it again and possibly give it a clear coating.

The Pearl goes very nice with the silver trim in the BRZ...

You will love it! I've had mine for two years now and it still looks brand new.

This was my first aftermarket shift knob and I can attest to everyone's positive review of it, it's light, nimble, and easy to shift. I've had mine in the Piano Black trim for the past 9 months (ever since I bought my car) and enjoyed every single shift with the shift knob. My knob still looks brand new and extremely glossy, so the quality of the knob is top notch. My recommendation is to clean the shift knob every month or so, to keep the glossiness of the knob from cracks and other imperfections! Enjoy your shifts!

In the op's pictures the have the knobs using the stock reverse lockout. When I follow the op's link to the piano black knob it says and shows it comes with the reverse lockout. Dose it actually include the reverse lock out? And can it be used with the stock one or the raceng one?

I have the piano black knob for my car. When I received it, it didn't come with a reverse lockout. I know it does work with OEM and aftermarket lockouts since I'm also running a Beatrush reverse lockout.
