Momo Air Leather shift knob - pics and review please!

Hello! I did do several searches and found a few scattered impressions and a few pics, but not as detailed as I was looking for. Can you pease post pics of your Momo knob installed and also give your impressions on performance compared to stock? Thank you!

The image is kinda overexposed but the Momo knob is pretty cool. Matches the steering wheel, PERFECTLY! This should have been an option. Can get cold as hell right now, in winter. I got mine used from a WRX owner, but it fits the Evo shifter rod with rubber (tube) spacers. I put mine on there and it's pretty tight and doesn't move at all.

I had the Mitsu aluminum shift knob (dealer option) and I didnt' like it cause it was a bit small for me, especially for speed shifting and also... that **** got super cold to the point that u could get frostbite. The Momo Race airleather is just right for me. The feel and quality is great. Highly recommended.



Here' s some product images from some online stores:

Awesome info and pics - thanks! As far as weight, does anyone know how it compares to the stocker, or what the actual weight is?

If you dont want it to get cold, get the full leather one. Thats what i have, and its really nice. It has a great feel, and the best part is, it doesnt get cold in winter. I dont know what its called, but its the same model, except it has a leather bottom half, not aluminum.

Also on the air leather, what about height and size? I can sort of tell from the pics, but would be cool if someone actually knew the difference in height, width, and weight too. Thanks!

I have the black sphere knob which is similiar in design. I love it...but as you can see the bottom "cap" wont fit over our stock shifter boot, so we have to leave that off or break that top ring.

Cool shifter: Is that a lil Momo Budda on the shift cover or a Ralliart one?
