@nookandcrannycar yea man big time man. With the heat it's unbearable to have a metal or titanium shift knob. Yea but it's perfect for this weather

I have the SE knob in my car, and even in 95 degree days it doesn't really get hot. my hand barely makes much contact with the top center, which im not even sure is actually chrome. I mainly put it in because the stock hard rubber knob looks awful and the SE knob looks OEM in there (which it is for the SE anyway). It really improves the look in the L model. downside: around $100. somebody should grab Diego's shift knob if he will part with it.

@bebeelo I don't think the automatic knob would fit on the manual due to the fact that the threads might be different. Plus I wanna keep the stock one just incase sorry brother

I took it he wanted to trade his car and a beer for your car, not just the knobs.

I haven't felt what Mighigan feels like at 95 degrees . I've been to 50 of the 53 largest cities in the U.S. by population (according to the list on Wikipedia (2012 estimates based on the 2010 Census) -- I haven't been to Charlotte, Raleigh, or Columbus). Of the 'humid cities', IMO, Houston gets the hottest....feels hotter than even tropical Miami because of the heat effect from all the concrete, not being as close a large body of water, and possibly other reasons. IMO, 3 brutally hot dry or fairly dry cities on that list top Houston....Phoenix, Bakersfield, and Las Vegas. Phoenix is undoubtedly #1, IMO. Not sure if Bakersfield or Las Vegas would be next . A few smaller towns in the desert in California that I've been to in my Yaris give Phoenix a run for its money (Needles, Barstow, and Blythe) as well as some towns in Arizona (Casa Grande, Gila Bend).

That shift knob looks like a white fiesta salt or pepper shaker!

You want hot?

Try sitting in a 1970s GM car with vinyl seats after it's been parked in the sun for a few hours...WEARING SHORTS...

Hot shifter knob...

@yougojay lol that does look that shift knob. Shit that must be ridiculous. Reminds me of my grandmas 1970s cadi with all red leather interior in the summer. Not the business lol 💀

Very nice . Like the alloys . Pull a condom over the shifter so not to get it dirty since it's white . Don't use lubricated , could make for poor shifting .
