Okay, well I'm looking for an aftermarket know for my manual short shifter. I'm kinda torn on what to get though. I want a nice short sports car m3 kinda look. I have black leather and an aluminum dash kit so I was thinking about the MOMO Combat which is black leather with aluminum. But I'm not sure it looks really tall, and that's kinda not what i'm looking for. The other option is the race air leather which is basically a aluminum/leather ball.

Anyone have an opinion on which would look better, the taller stick type or the ball type on a short shifter??

Ahhh decisions decisions lol.

Ball

I have a ball right now that is Half carbon Fiber half metal. It was cheap. When I get my short throw, I plan on getting the Momo race air leather. It looks so sweet. Don't get a long shift ****. It kinda defeats part of the purpose of getting a short throw shifter (reduction of shift throw, and height of shaft)

MOMO raceair leather....

Thats what I have on a black car w/ black leather.. no alum dash.. but it looks smooth.. very nice piece too.. well made.. they also have the raceair aluminum (I think) where the bottom 1/2 is all alum.. but that seemed a little too "hot" for me...

I've got the Momo combat

Momo combat with the carbon fiber inlay to be exact. I've got my shifter cut down 2" and the shifter still sits fairly low. The Combat **** fits perfectly into my big hand. It's about 3" from top to base. I've got the **** pushed down all the way. It's much shorter than stock.

I think I have the Momo short superantomico. It's the short one w/ that's all leather. It's nice, but I want a new one now. I cut the shifter too, when I installed the ****
