this is an aesthetic mod so how can one be better? Everyone has their own opinion. The only difference that really counts if it's counterweighted or not.

Well, IMO the MR stock shifter is a piece of art, it looks nice, it feels nice and is counter balanced. I mean for real, Do you have a MR and want to change the shift knob already?

Send a pm to edwin(that is his user ID) I think he has a couple of aftermarket shift knob on his MR.

Last but not least, I don't think you should be changing the shift knob at all, it is kind of screwing the originality of the MR (special edition).

+1, it's better than most because it already comes weighted from the factory and is free with the purchase of an MR!
