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...

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.

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.
