Shift knob suggestions (3rd Gen - manual transmission)
I decided quite a while ago that a new Yaris would be silver or white. If I'd purchased a white Yaris, I would've ordered the same shift knob tooter has ( that shift knob). I need to go down a different road having purchased a silver Yaris. The only other shift knob that I remember at all is the one mr_miles has, but (although his looks great) I'm not planning on changing the steering wheel. I wonder if that shift knob would look 'orphaned' () without that wheel. Other planned mods for the 2014: tinting, Clazzio seat covers, cruise control kit (ordered during my trip back from Florida, and it arrived yesterday (the first mail date after my return) Thanks, Scott!), a car cover specifically for the 2014 Yaris (I bought a $22 one at Wal-Mart to use in the interim), and probably my JL Audio 300/4 amp and the same (but new unused additional ones I have) speakers I used with that amp in a previous application.

I thought you had one that 'to a camera's eye', looked like your steering wheel (obviously not in shape or function). My bad. I really like the one tooter has...round +white (like a cue ball) with black lettering....I think it is a replica of the one Hurst made decades ago. However, I wonder if that style would only look good with that classic color combination of white with black lettering (which might look out of place with my silver w/black + 'grey' interior). Something similar, with colors more appropriate to the color combo I ended up getting would be ideal. Also other shaped (not round) knobs that look like your steering wheel might be good, even though I plan to keep the stock steering wheel.
