here is the perrin short knob (which i didnt clean off) with the STI short shift kit which really doesnt make THAT much of a difference im sad to say...I love the shift knob though, besides it being metal which means after my car sits anywhere in stupid michigan 4 degree weather, its painfully cold to touch, but other wise i love it.

I put this knob in my BRZ for the tactile improvement. Feels fatter, shortens the lever, and my palm sets into the concavity. The stitching may not match the shift boot but I noticed while driving that it matches the steering wheel's crossed red stitching.

Whats the going rate for it? Seems to be the only one I like on the market.

Cheapest I found is on japanparts for around $130 shipped. But I didn't want to wait the month they said it'd take to ship so I ordered it here on eBay for like $148 free shipping and got it in 5-6 days.

This was my favorite knob but I just couldn't put TRD in a Subaru...just a weird OCD thing. I even thought about buying it, dissecting it, filling the TRD logo, painting, and reassembling it. I didn't want to buy it without knowing if I could even remove the top panel though.

Just picked up the STi titanium ball knob. Found a nice used one on the NASIOC forums. Now to wait for the car to attach it to... c'mon Subaru!
