Shift Knob?

[pat_smith1969]

I hate the shift knob in our cars (2008.5 MSP3). It looks good but it is real small, my hand engulfs it and makes me feel like I am driving Barbie's car (ok a bit of an exaggeration there).

I have done a lot of searching but haven't found any really cool shift knobs for our car. I would like something round and large. Cool shft knobs used to be a huge deal in the after market scene but they don't seem to be popular any more.

You guys seen any places with a good selection?

i love my stock knob, and i am huge, but honestly---TWM knobs FTW if you are looking for an aftermarket piece.

seriously, they are the best in terms of quality and selection.

btw, what's an msp3 hehe (shrug)

I like the stock shift knob, its pretty comfortable for me. And obviously, msp3 is MazdaSpeed3...don't know if your being sarcastic lol.

 

[pat_smith1969]

Those knobs are exactly what I am looking for.

What do you guys think of this one?

I would get either the matt black or Gun Blue.

weird. i've never heard of an ms3 referred to as that since i've been on these forums.

msp is a mazdaspeed protege

mps is an aussie/euro designation

but yeah, never heard msp3.

This was my post ever here on this forum, and made only three weeks after purchasing the car. I probably got the acronym wrong.

I've got the TWM Type R in the stainless finish. I love it.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH hadn't thought of that. Perhaps I will have to do a Michael Jackson (breakn)

Any one got any pictures of their aftermarket shift knobs, I want to get one but think some wouldnt look right on our speeds. Just trying to get some ideas, thanks to anyone who posts!

 

[martin_nj]

i like that the TWM ones fit right on
i don't like that they have no leather nor plastic ones

ideally i'd like a leather/plastic/carbonfiber illuminated one... might have to make my own tho =\

I guess I have smaller hands than some of you and actually didn't like the fact that the OEM knob was a tad too big for my tastes. But this is coming from a former Honda owner that is used to gripping the smaller shift knobs on Hondas. One of the first mods I did was the Autoexe carbon shift knob:

Looks great and the shape is decent plus it's a tad smaller than the OEM knob so it worked out for me.
