Looks very nice! I think it needs a coat of lacquer or something clear and shiny though.

Heh... Reminds me of the stock shift knob that came in my 240Z. Doesn't fit the S2000, but kudos for originality.

You're freaking killing me with that one.

PS: Kudos for originality, but I think wood is too "old school" for the high tech S2000.

Craftsmanship.
actually not really, the one they been selling for miata owner are polished and they are shiny as clearcoated paint.

No, but you do feel more of what's going on in the tranny. I really like mine.

hmm...to me seems like it doesn't belong in the S2000, but for not giving a crap and being original!

I think this would look good with the tan interior especially if it had some sort of clear coat over the wood.

Neat I guess, definitely not my style though. I personally hate wood trim in ALL car interiors.
