Default Shift pattern badge from NSX

Since I installed my Voodoo knob, I've been a little bothered by not having the shift pattern appear on the knob. I guess it's just more of a feeling about asthetics rather than function since I know the pattern. In my opinion, the plain knob looks just a little out of place in the interior because it lacks the shift pattern. I didn't think it was worth spending more money to have the shift pattern etched on the knob than the knob itself so I have nobody to blame but myself.

I was looking at some NSX-Ts today and noticed that they also don't have the shift pattern appear on the knob (mainly because the whole knob is covered in leather). Instead, the NSX uses a small badge mounted rearward of the shifter to indicate the shift pattern. Since the NSX also has a 6-speed transmission, I thought that this might work well in the S2000 (mounted at the front of the center console between the radio door and the shifter).

Anybody know how easy it would be to obtain one of these badges? Being that's it's from an NSX though, it probably costs more than if I would've paid the extra $30 to have the pattern engraved on my Voodoo knob.

The badge is highlighted:

Here's another idea for people who are as anal as I am (I hope that didn't sound bad): what if Rick offered an option to have the shift pattern stitched into his leather console covers in the same area where he offers the "S2000" and "Honda" logos?

If it's hard to get that plate from an NSX, I think that new Acural 3.2 CL Type S 6 Speed has a similar style plate.

Comptech gives you the shift pattern badge if you get the six speed tranny upgrade from them. I don't know if they will sell the badge alone

The cl type s plate is rectangular, not square. It would fit mutch better, behind our shifter.

The problem with that badge is that it says "Type-S" on it and it's not perfectly rectangular.

Acura TL Type-S
