Found out that the maker of this shift knob, Johnathan, passed away. RIP.

 

I considered a wooden knob during the first summer in Phoenix that I owned the S. Hot! doesn't even begin to tell you how burning the metal knob is after sitting in the sun for a few hours, let alone all day. I can still feel the burn on the palm of my hand.

Now, I use a leather cover that easily slips on and off, but stays on without trouble. I believe that I got the cover from Modifry?

 

I like it but I think it would be best if there was more "classic" wood & chrome trim for the S2000's interior, instead of just the one item.
