Post Which shift knob should I get?

I've been jones-in' to get a shift knob, and now that I sold back my textbooks, I got the flow. Here are 2 I really like. If you have any other ideas PLEASE POST PICS of them. My car is silver (aka no crazy color scheme).

#1 - Ichibahn Equipt Series


#2 - Shark Racing Carbon Fiber (100% real CF)


Don't forget to post other pics if you have seen better ones!

1st one looks classier, 2nd looks racey. All depends what yer interior looks like. Personally I would go for the 1st one.

Yeah, I'm leaning that way (#1). My whole car scheme is going to be kept as clean and low-profile as possible. No rice, no stickers.

go with #1.... a ball of cf looks funny because you can see the weave going ten different ways.

Personally I think they're both ugly.

I have an Ichibahn that's on now and a MOMO that will go back on if I ever get the freakin' chance to redrill the holes and find suitable plug screws (the albuminum stripped on mine from overtightening on the B&M short shifter shaft.

My MOMO Cobra (alum/leather):


My Ichibahn (alum/leather):


Personally It's just the matter of taste thing, but I happen to like the two I have (duh). Neither really fits well on my B&M though. In fact, I'm still hoping someone will take pics of theirs for me so I can verify that there are two different style shafts on the B&M shifters.

What is the cost of the shift knobs?
I machined one for my Evo.
It is made of billet aluminum.
It looks awesome with a mirror finish!
I don't know how to put a picture on here though.
Any help?

I am thinking of selling them on e-bay.

edit PS The one I made screws on. No cheesie set screw.
