The cr shift knob is great but too light. If you like the cr size and look buy the Nsx r knob which is the same size but made of titanium. The heavier weight feels much better. Honda realized this on the Nsx and the 04 / 05 Nsx stock shift knobs were the best of the model run and amazingly heavy and expensive

Good option. I just looked it up now but found one price for $289.99 off icbmotorsport...

Neither did mine. That's a replacement shift boot from thes2000shop.com with red stitching, it seems to sit a little taller.

Red Type R knob is same as CR knob, thats what I had in my AP1 and enjoyed it.

Enh sort of but not really. The shape is slightly different and the textured area is different. The feels is much more expensive as well (well for the plain steel Lathewerks knob not after I had mine copper plated).

1320 has teardrop shaped knobs on eBay that resemble NSX S-Zero knobs. They come in SS, copper, and bronze versions.

Seems intriguing.

It is fairly expensive but when you consider just how much you change gear it becomes very good bang for buck as time goes on.

I’m super happy with my titanium Anvil 2, after coming from a stainless steel version.

Ok thanks for that. I suppose seeing the lock nut is kind of spartan, cool even

Type R knob priced the same as CR?

Will take a look. Made in USA? I'm only interested in MIJ or MIA shift knobs, no MIC
