Help looking for FQ400 like ShiftKnob.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find a similar looking shift knob as the FQ 400. Here is a few pics:

It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but something dark with brushed aluminum accents. Im not really a fan of those Ti knobs that everyone seems to be crazy about. I'd prefer it to be under $100 USD.

Thanks.

Did you even read my post? I am not looking for an OEM FQ400 shift knob, because even if they sell it alone(which i doubt because only 100 FQ400's are being made), it will be ridiculously rare and expensive. Looking for a similar look that I could buy from a vendor on here or something.

Looks similar to many Momo shift knobs.

THANK YOU!!

You are right. Momo has some really nice shift knobs. Just have to decide which one to go with. What do you guys think would look good with a GSR interior, and T1R suede shift boot with white stitching? Heres some of the ones I was considering with pictures.

Gotham: http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/ltbmotorsport_2051_13497330

GTR2: http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/ltbmotorsport_2051_13704683

Nero: http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/ltbmotorsport_2051_13928591

I was leaning towards GTR2.

Thanks for the input. I like Nero as well because it is stealth. GTR2 might stick out too much.

I like the Nero shift knob the best out of those three. Redline Goods makes some really nice custom shift boots. I plan on getting black leather with white stitching to match the steering wheel.

I've seen those Redline shift boots, and they are really good, but would be more suited for the MR. I think the T1R suede boot looks better with the GSR cloth seats.

^ The 8/9/X 5-speeds all use the same thread for the shift knob, don't they?
