 Hey, I am a proud new owner of a flint mica tc and I really do not like the look of the stock shift knob. Does anyone have any recommendations?

 Don't get the OBX speedstar. It looks nice, but its all metal, so in the summer it boils your hand off! I had to make a cover for it for in the summer because it gets so hot.

 Sparco Globe matches up with the chrome trim ring on our shifter boot PERFECTLY! It is silver with either black, blue, or red accent. You can also get it with a perforated black leather accent, which is what I have. The only thing is, you should either have a short throw shifter with shorter height or cut a couple inches off the top of your stock shifter for the knob to go down low enough to meet the boot.

 I got the black TWM knob along with the TWM Short shifter. This knob is very heavy which I like but the damn thing faded after 2 days. POS. So I sanded all the black off, figuring it would look kinda cool in unfinished metal. Now the stupid POS is rusty from my hand sweat. Not to mention it is solid metal so it gets extremely hot and cold in the elements. I am still looking for something new.

Long story short TWM knob = bad
????? = good

 I am happy with my TRD shifter. It has a slightly different shape than the stock, and it is black leather so it matches the steering wheel.

 i think comparing it from pictures compared to the stock and OBX aluminum mesh leather one....I think it is about the same size as the OBX scion one....so yes is the answer i think?

 Here's a pic of the round OBX shift knob . . .



It does fit both manual and auto trannies. And it does get hot in the summer, and a lot of my friends say it looks like a microphone, but I think it still looks better than the stock boring gray nub.

 LOL in PARK it is extrememly comfortable to hold....when you start to shift down though...the comfort level isnt the same. I mean it is still comfortable but you have to hold it alot differantly compared to the way you woul hold it when it is in park...in park you can lay your thumb on the top indented area....when you shift it down you sort of have to hold the front part and rest your wrist on the rest....its hard to explain...but over all it is comfortalbe and prefect especially if you got the interior cf dash kit....sort of ties everything together.

 I just screwed on this Razo RA65 today.
It's a little heavier than the stock one but it could be alot heavier. I didn't like making my own threads in the plastic piece inside but it seems to work fine.
I love the way it looks. The carbon fiber matches the seats really well, but for $52+ I think I could have found something better. It is a little wobbly because of some pieces inside not matching up perfectly. a little tape around the plastic peice inside will fix that problem. I'm satisfied but keeping my eyes open for a new one. If you like what you see you can make me an offer.

 that actually looks pretty good.

Im tight I bought an ebay aluminum & cf ebrake handle...i didnt know it was meant to replace the actualy handle. So Im looking to return it. But it wouldve been perfect in my car. this is what it looks like

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaym...gename=STRK%3AMERFB%3AIID

I guess im gonna have to start searching for a differant ebrake handle. But man the one i bought is sturdy and really nice.
