All i can say is you get what u pay for. And the ebay one, it might be for a dollar but the shiping is $10.

the MoMo and digital one seem cool enough but all the others are very cheap looking....

dont ever trust the 1.00 buy it nows because they kill you on shipping....

you are still paying for the cost of the item or the seller would not be selling it...so... if they are willing to sell it for 10.00 total, and at least a third of that is going to be shipping, then its a 2-3 dolar shift knob at most...

they have to be at least doubling their money or this item would not be worth selling and shipping

The Momo maybe, but the others look cheap & ricer like

Check out the Voodo knobs here: Ricks

I bought the Spun Titanium with the shift pattern engraved and I love it. It is also countersunk by 1" vs. OEM so it actually makes the shifts feel shorter.

Your paying for the brand is what i think...Im sure the LED ones work out fine but they are cheap...They will do the job but depends on your preference if you like it or not. I heard of the GASLOC, they work but for the price! XD, its not cuttin it. Ricks are pretty good too. But the titanium spun one is 160! what the!??
