Favorite shift knob?
What is your favorite shift knob that you use / have seen / want to buy for your FRS or BRZ?
I have seen some sick ones in different build threads but thought it would be nice to have a single post where people can post pictures / shopping links / etc. |

Check here:

I like my Perrin fat black much more than stock.

There's so few good leather aftermarket knobs (IMHO) After having metal, plastic, and leather knobs, leather wins every single time. Grippy and doesn't burn/freeze your hand.
I've been tempted to buy a TRD knob and have it modified to match (blue stitching and possibly an engraved STI logo) but I'm lazy... |

I think the stock one is super nice. It's real comfortable for me, fits my hand nicely. But I just a flossy shift knob and love it. perfect size and feel, not too hot/too cold. I recommend their shift knobs if you are considering one. that or I hear good things about Lathe Werks

I seem to have no good pictures of it, but I love my Billet Pro Shop matte silver shift knob and short throw shifter combo. The knob is just the right size and feel, and the shifter has an excellent mechanical-feeling action, as opposed to the plasticky stock shifter. Feels like working the bolt on a rifle

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.
