That looks like shït! Flossy needs to make this right for you.

Yes, I am kidding, that is a joke picture...

I just grabbed what was available at work. It is a fairly large nut and a washer. It was a 5 min. fix because having the pattern not aligned correctly looked like shit.

It is one of the highest quality, well built shift knobs I have ever had. I am so glad I bought one of these. The stock knob is garbage compared to this one.

I'll admit that these shift knobs look pretty slick, but for $115 what can I expect. Keep in mind, I started driving MT 3 months ago and just finally getting comfortable in most situations.

Also, any designs for the FR-S or TRD?

I think the nut under the knob looks worse then the alignment of the gear pattern. Do you really have to look at we're the next gear is! But to each there own.

These shift knobs do look pretty cool, but how are they touch/feel wise? because I have palms that sweat easy and are induced to sweat even more on shiny and metallic surfaces like these knobs

No I don't, actually I agree with you on that point...here is my knob. I also messed with it last night and got it to sit a little lower.

Lol I do this all the time. I collect shift knobs and like 20+ of them don't sit right.

These guys are the bomb! I ordered same day as the group buy but didn't notice it somehow, and after politely asking for it, they gave me the same discount everyone else in the buy received. I'll definitely be buying from them again given the option!!!

Depends on personal opinion of course but I think it'd be difficult for someone to not like them. They feel great, just enough grip but nothing like the term "Grip tape" might make you think.
