Default Voodoo knob opinions needed

Ok guys. Im havin trouble pickin out a shiftknob to order from Ricks2k.com

I can only afford aluminum for starters. Color of car is Sebring Silver.Anyone have the polished and regret it. Im thinkin of pearl aluminum although spun seems to match car better.

I love the pearl but it is easy to nick the paint on it.

True but you have a silverstone where I have a Sebring Silver. You still think the cars paint matches pretty good to the pearl.

Go for the spun pearl. It seems to be less prone to the heat/cold issues of the polished flavors, silver or black.

I don't recall what finish I have but it's definitely not polished. I didn't want a funhouse mirror on the shifter...

Go for textured black. I know it seems kinda wierd but it looks awesome with the interior I love mine, and it helps having that texture. It also doesn't seem to have as much issues with heat absorption.

I have the pearl. The spun may look like it matches best with the interior, but pearl also works really well, especially with the '04-05 AP2 console It's also coated so i feels smooth in my hand!
