I have the Circuit Soul Hard Style "knob" currently
http://store.circuitsoul.com/product...ted-shift-knob
I love it. Nice and heavy. Long. It's great. I love the patina it's developing as well. I want one of these in all my cars for the rest of my life.
I know it's not cheap. But other than the steering wheel it's what you touch the most on the car.
