I think that counter sunk knobs are not for our type of cars(shifter sits lower, unlike s2000), it takes more effort to do the shifting(especially shifting into 5th), i had the ARC Ti knob for a little while, then sold it, at first, I think I kind of forced my self to like the ARC knob, cause it's so pretty, and it cost me $120 bucks! Then I switch back to Honda Aluminum shift knob, you can really feel the difference, shifting takes much less effort and much smoother. I strongly recommand the Honda OEM Aluminum shift knob!

 

I agree! but it looks cool. Ive driven an MR2 where your whole arm rests on the center console and you just flick your wrist to shift. Now thats super nice! LOL. But not the same feel with our cars.

 

You can countersink the stock knob.
