Aftermarket Gear Shift Knob?
 
I was looking at the shift knobs offered by "sickspeed", and they claim the thread pitch matches our cars. I have no reason to doubt that, but was wondering if anyone has experience with their products. I have a Red FB with gray interior. Was thinking the black or dark gray ball, with red (or orange, is it?) pattern. Or perhaps red ball with black shift pattern engraved on it. Anyway .... anybody use their product? Any pictures? Thanks!


Here's the linky:

Perhaps an image would help? Anyone using this in their FB? I'm just trying to get a feel for 1) will it actually fit without modification, 2) if anyone uses this company's products, are they happy with what they purchased? thanks...

It will bolt up with no problem. Shifter thread is 12 mm x 1.5 mm.
Have something similar in my SE

I'd stick with the black one.

Yeah, I was thinking Black too, the more I think about it. Red car, Dark gray interior.
GSLSEforme --> where'd you get that shift boot? Is it *gasp* leather? ;)

I was searching for the same things three weeks ago and ordered my leather shift boots and ebrake boot from RedlineGoods. As for the knob, it is the same size as the MX-5 so I picked up this Derlin one from Amazon. All black, no shift pattern. I like the round knob better than the original one.

Nice! That's kind of where I was thinking of heading. For the shiftboot from RedLine, did you order the 'standard' height?

Metal shift knob + sunny day + in a hurry = OUCH

I haven't seen any metal knobs nice enough looking to be worth the burn. :-) Pool ball knob worked very well for me until the shift pattern started to show signs of aging. Currently two out of my three knobs have no shift patterns on top.

Yes. I believe the other option is for short shifters. Very good quality product.
