what do you think of this shift knob?

From Amazon, is the right thread, should just screw on, correct?

I think I have a shift boot laying around that I can modify to make it work. If not able to any recommendations for a leather shift boot. Trying to fancy up the interior a bit while the car still has "newness" to me and I am motivated to do so...

I have no advice to offer, but it looks pretty good.

Looks nice. I'm itching to switch mine out too.

The shift knob looks nice, however, can I advise you to please do some research on how much or if it is a weighted knob. Reason I say this is because I also switched my knob on my old 2006 5MT MZ5 with a very nice polished titanium look knob and although it looked great the shifting feel was worse then the OEM knob. The OEM knob is weighted and it feels great when shifting, so just be sure that whatever knob you choose, that it is weighted the same as the OEM or heavier to make the shifts feel a lot better.

Says it weighs 6.5 oz, I think I will give it a try, for that $$$, if it is so bad, I can always just throw it out.

Meh...it works, but, certainly not as "great" as I thought it would when I bought it. Taking a trip this Tuesday, will know how it "feels". There is about a half inch gap between knob and shift boot, looks like amateur hour.
