That or the fact that they are different years means that the material (leather) would have come from a different batch(animal) so the materials will be slightly different. Anything like that will be slightly different between runs they can only make so many pieces out of one hide and hide to hide will vary in what the leather looks like on the parts.

Sorry I should have stated what the difference is. JARblue is right. It's the location of the shift map is different.

And my old 09 shift knob does look more polished/shiny. So is the leather on the steering wheel. Not sure if that is because of the different leather material nissan used or because of the interior detailing made them shinier. Or maybe just because of my greasy hands.
