I really can't convince myself to spend a bunch of cabbage on a new shift knob, but life is short and I need to compensate for my lack of endowment. :biggrin:
So, which one should I add to my 07 LB? Let the masses decide.

Well, I say spend the cash on suspension. I would go with a genuine Toyota part for the shifter though.

Hey changing the shift knob is one of the privilges of owning a manual. Picking the right knob can really set off the interior. I chose a MOMO, brushed aluminum, it compliments the center stack with is the focal point of the interior.

on the 07 sedan (auto) you ingague the shifter by pushing in the brake. I haven't acctually checked to see how the knob is attached, i've only had my car for about four days. So, eh, what are you gonna do?

I have a 5 speed and want to go retro. Maybe a ball shape shifter with engraved shift pattern. of course if I could find chrome skull with lighted ruby eyes then it would already be installed. :biggrin:

IMO that RS canadian one is pretty neat. If you can't get one I'd send it down to you in exchange for good whiskey.

There's an LED in there so the flames light up at night!

The wimmins all have Penis Envy and are too afraid of liking it too much!

I know... I was close to getting it, but ended up not finding a boot for it, so I backed off.

Well, what I told you was true as well! It's just that Shift knob + boot + shipping = big chunk of change, whereas fog lights + shipping = not so much.

Also, don't count me out just yet! I might still jump on this if/when the time is right.

That's just one of the things I really like about the auto yaris. the shiftknob is accessible, and easy to change. I had to get the auto because my fiance can't focus on driving (what with her cell phone ringing all the damn time) as well. I was happy to know that switching the knobs would be easy.

There is nothing I enjoy more then having people fly by at 20 over the speed limit concentrating more on the celly then driving. I wish they would make it illegal in my state to use anything but hands free whilst in motion.

BTW, it is cool to have a few options for that personal touch.
