WTB: leather shift knob - MT

I'm looking to buy a black leather shift knob for my 07 fit (MT) but haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone seen one?

I would even consider black and silver (leather of course). It would be awesome if it matched the OEM silver and black steering wheel cover.

Thanks!

The only thing I found so far is this JDM RX-Style Manual Fiber Shift Knob. which looks okay... it just won't match my steering wheel cover (I'm anal about those things)

I like the style but I too would prefer it matched the wheel.

I ended up purchasing this one, it is in transit right now. It should be a better match then the other one.

I would hold off buying it until I get mine, I want to make sure it fits. I think the threads on the gear shaft have a 10mm diameter, but it was hard to tell as my measuring tool isn't that great...

waiting

I'll wait. I'm hoping you'll post pics. I bought the fit to save me money long term. Translation: I'm not spending $100 on a shift knob. The price is right on this one but the fit sport's wheel color isn't black. I don't even know what to call the leather color. Anyway I'm eager to see your knob installed. I really don't like the stock one but it gets the job done for now.

Package finally came, but they sent me the wrong shift knob... they sent me a carbon fiber one... irritating... now I probably have to ship it back at my expense...

still interested

Are you going to reorder the second knob? I'm really interested in how well it matches the sport's wheel. Sorry about the mix up. Online sales give you many more options but you can be victimized by a goofy order filler. The company should pay return shipping if they want you as a repeat customer.

I'm going to ship it back so it should take about 4 weeks until I get the leather one.

Sorry I sent the carbon fiber shift knob back. It should fit. I got an accurate measurement on the stick and it is 10 mm.

If you are interested here is the link for the one he sent me in error.
