Default Show me your knob!

I'm curious what shift knobs you guys are using in your Gen 1 Insights. Being Monte Carlo Blue, I'm considering using an old school DC Sports one, as pictured below:



Please post pics of what you've got!

I *could* post a picture but I don't think it's needed as a description would probably suffice. It's gray, rubber, has 5 numbers and an R, these markings are worn a bit and the knob has become smoother than it once was.

...I guess I should just say I've got the stock knob. Those do look cool though but I think the first cosmetic mod I will be doing is a set of blue LEDs under the dash but time is valuable at the moment and I haven't gotten around to measuring things out so I can etch the circuit board or I'd have something soldered up already. I've got an after-market armrest, the JC Whitney one and a Rostra cruise but haven't gone any farther yet.

These trendy metal knobs are all well and good, but in the cold they are nigh on painfull to touch!! I drove a new mini Cooper last winter and found myself searching around inside the car for some sort of insulator! I stuffed an old glove over the thing in the end.....Heated metal knobs are what is required.
