Which of the following two shift knobs should I get?

1. Blox Type R Link
2. NRG CF Type R Link

i looked at all three.

I have the type R one made by skunk2 for my honda. i used it on the evo and dont like it. plus its realy hot in the summer and cold in winter

the second choice is similar to the first

personaly i would stick with a baseball type shift knob. the carbon ones are kinda cool. ams has one thats made by vibrant, i am using a stock evo X lthr. baseball type and i love it.

I have the Blow 490 in my car and so far I love it. It has only been in for a week, but so far shifting feels so much nicer. It hasn't really been hot even to judge how it feels to the touch yet so I can't really comment on that. I am also a fan of round knobs vs the type r. My guess is that the CF ones would stay cooler in direct heat, but that could be completely wrong. Good luck!!

I like the Ti blurple looking one in #2. I'd suggest getting a nice counter-weight shift knob. I have the RalliArt shift knob, duracon?, and it's way to light for what it needs to be.

3. NRG CF Round

don't personally like the gun metal look for inside the car when most of the inside is black. and the round to me just looks nicer.

I liked the Blox Type R but then realize that it will get hot on a Sunny day

I love my Nardi shift knob, feels great, I don't burn my hand in summer and freeze it in winter. It also puts it a little closer to the steering wheel.
