I have a shift knob made by razo. It took a little while to get used to, but i like the feel of the new knob better. It's slightly longer and narrower than stock.

Why change the shifter? S2000 stock shifter is one of
the best I've ever used, unless you don't like the "hot in summer, cold in winer" feeling, I don't really think it's
a good idea to change it IMHO. I'm even thinking to buy 2 extra S2000 shift knob for my other cars!

I have a KG Works Ti round knob. Feeling is good, sits lower, but it doesn't match the Ti trim pieces I imported from Honda in Japan.

Oops forgot:
NA-1 the reason to change the shift knob is to improve "throw weight" of the shift mechanism. While the dealers will tell you the Ti knob is lighter, it is not. The heavier weight provides a more positive feel. Mine is modeled after Bryan Herta's Team Rahal unit. Sometimes lighter isn't better in racing..

Then I am interested in getting one made out of spent uranium! Let's get the "Real Monty" and forget playing around with issue!
