college hills

Bernardi Honda said "Oh no it won't fit" but the guys at College hills actually tried it and it fits perfectly.

I like it. I was surprised that it's slightly smaller than the stock knob but it feels nice in the hand and matches the sport wheel perfectly.

blue

The blue stitching put me off at first but it's quite tasteful. It's so subtle that it's hard to see.

It looks exactly like my JDM Honda leather shift knob...except I have the black stitching.

If I'd have have known such a thing existed I'd have gotten it a long time ago. How much did the JDM, with black stitching, version cost? The blue is nice, very tasteful, but I would have preferred black! From the pics it does indeed look identical except for the stitching. YOUR knob is what should have come with the USDM sport package. I felt that the two most "intimate" parts (we touch the most) of the Fit should match perfectly.

I totally agree...the sport should have this! It matches the steering wheel perfectly too. I found the stock one was nice...but was a bit big.

I ordered this from japanparts.com. The canadian price was $62 plus the shipping/duties...etc.

I paid $71 with shipping from college hills who were cool as hell, BUT, I'd have paid your price for the black stitching in a moment. Either way the knobs are nice. The stock sport knob was too rubbery for my taste. I'd like for someone to make sure whether or not the pedals from the 09 accessory list fit the 08s. Honda's usually all about the details but sometimes they drop the ball.

The funny thing is that JDM knob is the only one I find bette looking than the default sport knob. I'm on a tight budget, but I really want that knob. I hate aluminum knobs (the only one sold for the fit for the prior fits) because they are cold to hold in morning.

So does anyone know for sure if it fits or not?
