Do you like a ball or a taller teardrop style? Or something else?

What kind of shift knob do you like to use?

Years ago my wife knitted me a bootie for my stock shift knob and I've used it ever since.

That is the coolest thing ever! I'm going to get my mom to knit me one since the wife doesn't knit. Just hoping she doesn't use pink or purple yarn. 
Used this on my EP3 and on NSX.......... best ever

I use the one in the group buy in gunmetal, I absolutely love it! Perfect stock yet updated look and it feels great.

Bought it locally here in NZ, but I'm sure there's plenty of places around that will sell them if you can't get direct. The thing I love about this is it's really heavy relative to factory so makes the gear changes feel better....
Just looked on Ebay. I will probably order from there.
I like the stock shifter. Not sure if it's different fron NA1...
I have an Integra DC5r shift knob in mine at the moment. Throws people off when they see 6 gears on the knob in a 91.
Ball knob looks better. I don't know about the stalk. :smile:
I actually use 2 different shift knobs depending on how I plan to drive that day, both from the same company.
- If I'm driving more casually, I tend to rest my hand on top of the shifter when changing gear so I use a spherical shifter:

- If I'm planning on a more spirited drive, I will grab the shifter vertically so I prefer a taller shifter:

Both knobs are very heavy (over 1lbs each) which is heavier than the 04-05 knob for sure and makes for very smooth shifting. They're a bit on the pricey side, but their quality is top notch - highly recommended.
For the Piston shift knob, I also went so far as to custom powdercoat it (piano black with the 3 rings paint-matched to my Spa Yellow). I don't have a pic of it at the moment but IMO it looks great, provides more grip, and regulates the temp of the shift knob much better.

Contact them if you want a ball knob. I will vouch for his work for sure. He makes some very nice shift balls that are legit in weight.

I have the same knob, great weight to it.

I have the Skunk Racing knob on my S2K and love it. But my NSX has the OEM knob as, IMO, it just looks like it belongs there. But i installed the SOS short shifter kit. It makes all the difference.
