My first mod on the S2000 was an ARC titanium shift knob. Whether its worth it or not is purely subjective but I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one if i had to do it all over. Matter a fact, i think it's my only interior mod.

I have an Anvil Mini and like it a lot. I like that it is countersunk and sits lower. Also has a nice "weighty" feel to it. Yes, nearly $90 is a lot for a shift knob, but I don't regret it at all. My stock shift knob was a little scratched up so it was a no lose deal for me.

I don't have one because I feel some lowlife will slash my top to get it.
Makes little difference to me.

I can't speak to the stock knob because when I bought my S it had a razo shift knob on it. I have since bought a TWM knob(had one on my Mazda previously) and I love it so much heavier makes daily shifting like butter. The razo knob was very light and I had to push my arm to shift. Now shifting is more of a toss of my fingers. It also is a nice touch to the interior.

Wow, I guess that's real footage there? Did you miss the bear?

As far shift knobs go, I think Honda got it right from the factory with the early AP1 and optional titanium ones. I guess they could be a bit heavier, but that's it.

I got an ARC shift knob also. $150 just to brag you have one. Functionality-wise versus the weighted ones prob none

If the OEM knob is to your liking, cool, more $ for beer and pizza. An aftermarket knob is an easy way to personalize the feel and looks of the shifter. Try a Voodoo, if it doesn't change your life, sell it.

I could not see my self spending that much money on a shift knob (again lol) , because iv spent twice that for a Feels shift knob and other than looking sexy and rare their was no benefit to it. At the moment I have a Blox shift knob and it weight 1.1 lbs and its the best 40$ iv ever spent, I easy when shifting and looks great
