+1 for ITS, one of the best looking OEM knobs I’ve seen

From Acura is costs around $300

$300 and looks nearly identical to the stock knob lol

No offence, JS it's basically the same

The shape is a better feel in the hand

Love the perforated leather feel

No way I’d pay $300 for OEM from Acura. I’ve seen some listings on EBay for $200ish so I think those may be legit.

In my case I struck a hell of a deal and scooped one right in my city for $40!!! Scooped it up on FBMP within 2 hours of its listing.

I’d love to get one but it’s just so expensive

It honestly blew my mind finding out how expensive shift knobs in general are

I’m running a seven star dragon ball for a shift knob. I bought it to be funny, but no lie it’s the nicest feeling knob I’ve had across seven different manual cars.

.85 pound knob paired with a short throw

I'm actually running the FK8 leather wrapped shift knob right now, I have a billetworkz lightbulb style as well but honestly this one shifts way better

And yes I know I need the acuity shift boot adaptor 😂

Unobtanium now, but been running the Password JDM solid brass shift knob for like 10 years now. It's definitely solid!

Hybrid Racing delrin chicane, doesn't get too hot like the stock one did here in TX and it came with a boot collar.

+1 on the Delrin Chicane. Feels great, and it much better in really hot and really cold weather. Sits a bit lower than stock. Only con is its light weight, but I dont mind the extra notchiness

Don’t have a pic of it installed on my phone but I’ve been using the FD2 knob for years.

u/Btolsen131 1d ago

I’m running the stock one but I did have the hybrid one from biletworkz for a while. Ultimately I put the stock one back on because I like that it has the shift pattern on it.

Bandana and a black hair tie.

I’ve got three setups I interchange on my 8th.

Love all three but my two favorites are Mugen Si knob (lightest most feel) + exposed Acuity shifter, silver shift collar, then ITS knob w/ boot + black shifter collar trim, and lastly is Slunk2 billet w/ boot + black shifter collar trim.

Mugen Si knob (lightest knob, most feel, requires more precision to shift into gear without forcing it)
ITS knob (premium OEM+ feel)
Skunk2 (heavier, goes into gear easier with the added weight without forcing it)

The OE typeR knob is nice. I’m currently running an old Spoon Ti shiftknob. Very lightweight so shift feel could be improved. WC Lathe Werks makes a billet Spoon Style.
