MR boot and shift knob set-up

Im really stuck at thinking up a good combo for my MR. The stock silver knob is nice and matches the reverse pick-up good, but I like the "cleaner" apperance of the 5 speed set-up. Does anyone have ideas/thoughts on what to do with the MR set-up?
I don't want to put the 5 speed knob on the MR cause it would look mismatched imo but maybe someone had a good idea. Thanks

really I love the 6spd setup. The 5 spd knob is just disgusting. I may switch out my shift knob but not anytime soon.

The stock boot is hatefull. Go with real leather and red stiching. Thats what I have. Looks great against the MR Recaros....with the stock knob.

Then get the new AMS knob coming out!

I would get that but it only would match if I got the red stitching on the seats.
