Nismo Shift Knobs?

Bad Boy · 12-12-2015, 10:53 AM

My car was recently at a body shop getting worked on and when I got my car back the OEM shift knobs leather finish was compromised. It was covered in some sort of grey putty or something.

Anyways, I dont feel like taking it back because of that and arguing with them, So I decided to just buy another one online.

I was just quoted $186.00 for the OEM and takes 2-5 Business days to ship.
Or I can get the NISMO black or carbon fiber knobs on Amazon for $90-120 with same day or nexy day delivery.

Im leaning towards the NISMO since I hate waiting.

Im wondering if you guys use the NISMO knobs and how they compare towards the leather OEM ones?

those nismo knobs are kinda narrow. i run the TWM big type-r knob. but u have to make ur own finisher and make ur own collar to keep the boot up.

also check out the Specter knob from TWM. i run dat one in my G. both very nice.

Ive just seen an OEM one on Z1 Motorsports, but in the picture it looks used... Doesnt mention if used or new though.

I just ended up buying the OEM one from dealer.
I dont think the cylindrical design of the NISMO version would fit my hand right...
