Stock shift knobs sold anywhere?

I love the fit sport's shift knob look. I checked momo and honda "racing" knobs, and I still prefer the sport shifter to all of them. But mine has been wearing out recently. The rubber is getting rubbed off and smoothed. I was wondering if anyone can buy more of these? plus, i'd lov eto put them in other cars like CRX or a civic

Post pictures of the other knobs you have, and you'll probably get offers to swap.

Another option if you'd like a custom engraved knob is
A Whalen Shift Machine knob. Many different finishes possible

http://www.whalenshiftmachine.com/models.htm
I emailed Doug Whalen about knobs for the Honda FIT.

He replied:
I imagine that all Honda shift levers are threaded. My standard knobs don't fit threaded levers. But I have made several knobs with threads, instead of the usual quick-disconnect type of attachment. Most of them were made to fit the Alta short shift levers for MINI; but I've also made a couple threaded ones to fit Miatas.

I can make them to look exactly like my standard knobs on the outside; but of course, the inside is simply drilled and tapped, to screw on.

Let me know if you're interested. I would need some dimensions from the Honda shift lever.
--------------------
The knobs are heavy and of excellent quality. You can submit your own design to him and he can engrave it with or without the shift pattern.
Here are some examples (be creative and design your own)

One of my favorites-


Possible inlays
