I have my tC coming in in a matter of days and I all ready have waiting the PIAA bulbs footpedals, extra neon interior lights, heel plate, yada yada yada. I want to go out and buy a shift knob but I need to know how the stock one comes off. On my Civic it just unscrewed, cut the boot and put on the new shift knob. Does the tC knob come off by untwisting it?

You'll need three people:
1) Open the sunroof
2) From the ceiling, hang your friend by his feet and lower him through the open sunroof. Tell him to hold the shift knob tightly.
3) Have your other friend lift the rear of the car and you can lift the front.
4) Spin the whole car clockwise
Repeat in reverse to install your new knob.

But seriously, your question is legit. Some cars have knobs that screw off while others need to be yanked off or even have the boot cut.

genious. pure genious. only thing missing is the 3 tiered whale-tail wing..huh?, whats that u say?? its on back order?, damn guess youll have to swing by autozone and pick up the 2 tiered one with the flashing LED's. and while yer at it, dont forget to check your muffler bearings, and you absolutely have to chang the blinker fluid!! geeze i can see your tactics, instead of wooing the honeys with a sweet ride, yer gonna try and blind them into submission with all the neon!! good strategy!. i applaud thee.. :clap: :loser:
