Like Mines, I just received my shift knob. I've always wanted a shift knob just for the hell of it. I don't even have a manual car... yet. It makes a good paper weight though :). At first I ordered the Sparco Racing (sphere type) shift knob, but CarDomain.com took too long to ship it so I cancelled it and got this one instead from Neuspeed.com for $58 including tax (free shipping from Neuspeed).
The weight seems pretty heavy. I don't have a scale that measures that little weight, so I can't tell how heavy it is. I haven't really played around with a shift knob by itself before, so I also can't give any impressions. But I really like the way it looks. It fits my hand pretty well too. Oil from my hands does get onto the knob but not as much as you think it would. The only thing that I don't like about it, but could get used to is the logo placement. When I ordered it, the logo was only etched into the ring under the knob (how it was supposed to look (http://store1.yimg.com/I/fastwrx_1799_5925262)). But when I received the knob, the logo wasn't on the ring and was on top of the knob itself. Not a big deal though.
Oh well, here are some pictures!
