Default Wanted: Leather shift knob

I'm looking for a good quality, somewhat stock appearing, leather shift knob. Doesn't have to be too fancy or wild. Ive read that the old Civic Si ones work well. Just comfortable. Must be in good shape and easy to mount.

Wink Check out the Honda Fit knob

I upgraded my blue Insight to the optional OEM leather shift knob from a 2009
Honda Fit.

My car is blue so went with blue stitching but it also comes with red stitching.
It is a Honda knob and with the dimpling it is a perfect match to the insight Interior.

Will try to attach a picture but you can do a web search for 2009 Honda Fit OEM leather knob and it should come up.

Love mine and it was just a matter of unscrewing the old one and screwing this one in place.

That looks very nice. Where did you get that from?

I bought it from the local Honda dealership after looking it up online. You can probably get a better price online but I had an in store credit.

Very nice. If I didn't have my 2001 Integra Type R shift knob, I would get one of these!
