1st knob's too shiny, 2nd one's too ricey, IMHO. The matching ebrake handle's too shiny too.

The performance one is nice, I've felt it and love the alcantera finish. The first would be stunning on an old school 2002.

that first one will melt your hand in the summer time. I had an aluminum shift knob on a previous car. I'll never do that again.

I hadn't thought much about that, it would be quite cold in the winter also. Think I may go for the bmw perofrmance one.

How about this m knob, everyone seems to have the zhp knob

Everyone has the zhp knob, I had it on my e46 so I'm trying to look for something a little different.
