One thing to consider.........I didn't get anything engraved on my knob (??!!) because of previous comments on this forum regarding folks not being able to align the engraving (ie. your shift pattern is not in line with the car but at an angle). I'm really fussy about stuff like that so decided to avoid it. There were some threads on this a while ago and maybe some fixes but cannot remember. Worth checking out before you order the shift pattern.

However, if you do go for engraving, do not worry - if you use loctite there should be no problems with squiffy shift patterns of logo's

in this case I might leave the knob alone and go for the polished finish
one thing, can you get a decent grip on the knob if it's shiny?, my '01 Knob as a brushed aluminum effect and seems quite grippy

(but then you can always buy a 'knob sock'....now if ever there was a topic for a long Friday afternoon it has to be knob socks
)

Also ordered a sock to go with my new knob but hasn't arrived yet so guess I'll just have to live with a cold knob for a few more weeks!!!.
Let the innuendo's commence!.

If I was to buy another, I wouldn't bother with the shift pattern at all.

I was looking at a knob sock to be honest I've not found my knob that cold first thing in the morning and I am up quite early
perhaps the polished knob may be colder, the standard knob warms up if you rub it while driving along
