yea same here, BUT I love to drive comfortable, and not reaching down to shift. the higher the better for me
i just bought one, and it sits kinda high on my lever, and did the set screw strip out when you put yours on? and u gotta push the button pretty low to get it going.. may sell mine..........

This is a Vision Brand Shift knob, I got it off eBay. It's countersunk, heavier, and I think it compliments the interior well. I'm not personally into colored or flashy shift knobs, so this does the trick. And, I got it for a steal - 11.95 plus shipping, and the company is based out of South Florida, so I got it in about 2 days regular postal mail. Paired with the Skunk2 short shifter kit, it's like driving a new car. Like it should have come from the factory!
BTW what is countersunk? it is taller or shorter when you screw it?
Do you have a link? Do they also have higher quality metal like titanium or Al? I'm interested because I've wanted a metal sphere knob with a nice looking font. I even tried making it msyelf, but the engraving company messed up; it would've been good if they hadn't...that project costed me 110$ they offered me a re-do but I was pretty upset i was like F it.

I was hoping to see someone with the JDM Honda Shif Knob for the Fit. Here's a link from aj-racing. A&J Racing :: JDM Honda Parts :: Fit/Jazz (GD3/4) :: JDM Honda Leather Shiftknob
Wanted to find out if it felt the same as the oem one. Don't want to spend $80 if it don't....

10mm X 1.5 Thread Pitch
I wanted something nice and round and couldn't find anything I liked (that wasn't $40-100). Also, I wasn't sure metal would be ideal here in Phoenix where a shift knob sitting in the sun would burn your handprint off. I finally found this knob in the "help" accessories at Checker ($8). It comes with a few threaded adapters (all wrong) but at least it isn't pinned with allen screws. I re-threaded one of the adapters to 10mm x 1.5 and voila. This knob is almost an inch shorter than stock on the Sport. I like to wrap my fingers under the knob so I needed something to hold down the boot. An o-ring worked for a day but this shaft lock really did the trick. Both the knob and shaft lock had ugly finishes so I mounted each on my hand drill and spun them with 600 grit sandpaper (wet) till they looked like anodized aluminum. There is also a section of shrink tube on the shaft cause no one likes cold metal between their fingers at 5:30 in the morning.
