MR shift knob in 5-speed?

I'm not terribly fond of the stock baseball shift knob on my brand new IX (love the rest of the car though!), but I really like the knob from the MR. Does anyone make the same shift knob with a 5-speed shift pattern instead?

FWIW, I still use my 6spd knob on my 5spd shifter after the conversion.

I should make a clarification. I'm looking for a shift knob that's designed the exact same as the MR knob but with a plate that shows the shift pattern of the base IX tranny 5-speed, meaning only 5 gears and reverse, rather than 6 gears + R

Isn't the OP asking if there is a MR looking shift knob that has a 5 spd pattern?

The Evo RS came with the same shift knob as the MR but with a 5spd pattern.

Yea the rs shift knob looks almost the same but there are no dimples machined into the top like the MR knob.

There is a guy on ebay who sells the JDM OEM knobs, including what you are talking about. Below is a link to one for sale right now, but colored.
