My Knob Is Plain - Toyota Yaris Forums

blacksan · 05-17-2007, 08:57 PM

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.

So, which one should I add to my 07 LB? Let the masses decide.

stock man, spend the cash on tails!!!!!

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.

ha, they have knobs for autos too, we just don't touch our knobs as much as you guys, we get to use our arm rest when we drive

I have the round aluminum TRD shifter - Its the third one i've had in there, and its by far the best one. TRDsparks has it for like 40$ or something like that...

I'm happy with my knob just the way it is!!!!!

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.

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.

maybe you should just get your knob polished, it will make you feel better!

I try to get a high luster on it at least twice a week!

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.
