One of the most striking features of the S2000 interior is the shift knob. Beautiful spun aluminium or even titanium.

There are three problems with this though:

On a winter day it can get bitingly cold.
Everyday day it can attract thieves looking to rice up a Hyundai.

The solution is to cover it. And what better to cover it with than:

It looks nice....

Try and get a some symbols or engravings onto the cover...

Something like..Honda or S2000 or the H symbol...

Cheers,

I guess you could keep your duckets in it.

I think it'll look better on the shifter. I'll take some more pics tomorrow.

I can't believe you would suggest that! It's a cover for your knob!

Mind you, what you do with it is up to you.

Cool. I like the drawstring idea for securing it in place. It looks like it will provide for a snug fit around the base of the knob.
