I have the textured black (seen photos) version in my Miata, and it's my third knob (all in different Miatas). Their quality is excellent. I have to say, I had chrome finish first and the sweat from my hands ended up making permanent stains in the finish. Voodoo exchanged it for a spun finish. That did the same thing. I ended up selling the car and didn't worry much about it after that. The next Miata got the textured finish, and it still looks new all these years later. It 's shorter height makes the shifts feel shorter and more solid, and though it does heat up, mine never gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable. Actually, I think the heat from the transmission is almost charming. It adds to the mechanical feel, and creates an even closer relationship to what's going on with the gearbox!
Please Please PLEASE Voodoo... make a textured black for the FR-S/BRZ/GT86!
It's more aesthetically pleasing when partnered with the matte black collar for reverse gear too. I included a pic of my knob set upon the shifter in my FR-S, but the Miata knob thread is way smaller, so I could not screw it on to show it fully in place.
