On the home page http://www.innovativcar-tech.de there are two knobs. Do you like the Left or the Right knob style. The left one (with a brushed steel circle) or the right one (with more brushed steel). The Right one seem more like the shape of the original knob. What's your view?

The LEFT one and the RIGHT one

Just my personal opinion but the one on the left (orange lighting) fits better with the rest of the interior/dash lighting...

The company offers both styles in Orange lighting. So that is not a problem.

Left one. IMHO, there's less of the non-leather trim on the shift knob.
Unless of course your interior has more of this trim, then the right one.

Btw, is this a simple plug-and-play mod? Looks cool.

The blue one would look out of place

In my haste, I focused only on the color difference. Having said that, my vote for the left remains unchanged...
