I ordered a black GT and i was wondering if i can get feedback on these two shift knobs im interested in.
Prodrive (black)

Nardi Sphere (wood)

Im really favoring the Nardi because i think it would make my car really unique and add some flavor, what do u guys think?

I must agree, the shift knob has no real importance to me personally.

If I had to pick between the two, it would then depend on the interior color. Beige interior then the wood Nardi, charcoal interior then only the black, actually I don't like the prodrive and would keep stock. The Nardi would stick out like a sore thumb in a black interior and look out of place.

With the Nardi you could feel like you driving in the Carrera GT!!!

That's a good looking wood knob IF you have the light interior. Otherwise I would prefer black w/ a black interior. I would maybe even prefer the Nardi over the Prodrive in a black interior just because I don't like their knobs. I know that you said between only those two, but I like the Momo Race airleather the best.

That Nardi just looks so oddball.

The Nardi would have to be the only wood in the car because you'll have a hard time matching that grain. I actually really like the Nardi but the stain is a bit orange. I like that aluminum stripe down the center, and the wood won't be hot like a metal one. I still prefer stock or the Momo though.

PPower, my cousin used to have that momo knob on his evo and he said it was really flimsy.
Thanks for the feedback, tell me if u guys know any other interesing knobs. (wood ones too!)
I was actually going for the Carrera GT look, i fell in love with porsche's use of wood although itz balsa and pays tribute to the old porsche race cars) because it is so unexpected in a car with all aluminum trim.

from Import parts (http://www.importparts.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2740)

Delrin resists cold and hot and it feels nice

Stock, IMHO. The only thing that will make you feel like you're driving a Carrera GT is to be driving a Carrera GT.
