This is the first time that I've heard of someone becoming addicted to VTEC because of a shift knob. For me and I assume many others, it's the growl of an intake that makes VTEC so much more fun.

Have fun and drive safely.

Going from the OEM leather wrapped shift knobs to 100% metal and/or countersunk offers much more of a "race car" feel... I noticed big time, even encouraged all the then "new" '02/03 owners to swap out asap. Hey, a solid metal knob is how they released the vehicle.
