The stock one is actually pretty small. You aren't going to do much smaller with the same design and in leather. You'd be better off going with a short shift kit and using the stock ****.

The pettit one is perfect for what you are describing. You have to cut 1/2 inch of the threads on the stock shifter to make it fit, but its a really high quality ****. Here's a pic of it in my car, not the best, but you can get the point.

scroll 1/2 way down to the interior pic.

i know what you mean but i think with them being so new the only place you will get them is the dealer. i remember reading that they're around $150 (ouch)...
but its got a rotor on the top i hear you say

I am pretty sure all of the manual rx8s are 6 speed. I thought the autos came with a 4spd but i guess it could be 5.

Hmmm, that's not "stock looking".

well that may explain it, in the uk we dont get any manual rx8s, only two different powered manual, the lower powered one is a 5-speed the higher is a 6-speed, so you could always get the **** imported from japan as they're bound to have it if you cant get it in the US

JTimports has the 5-speed RX8 ****, very expensive but cool. I like my leather mazdaspeed **** from corksport but it is taller than the original.
