i just discovered the OBX speed star shift knobs sold at Scion dealerships are knock-offs of the MOMO Sphere knob. I hate having imitation stuff, especially when the legit model isnt that much more. i bet the chrome on the MOMO knob doesnt flake/peel like the OBX konb. i guess the positive is the OBX knob has bases that fit the tC shift rod cleanly.

i'm gonna put my obx knob on ebay and get a greddy counterweighted one.

^ Good Move.... love the counterweighted.... goes great with the NST shifter bushings!

Is there any way to get the finished look of the OBX? Thats my only reason for not replacing mine, I hate that you can see inside that little chrome ring. Pictures would be appreciated, I already looked in the official shift knob thread.

Well you have to consider its double the price. It probly more expensive at the dealer but you can find OBX shift knobs online for 35-40$ before shipping. So you do get what you pay for and you get a good fit.

on ebay the greddy counter weighted ones sell for about $20 plus $20 for shipping. is it really that cheap? i wonder wut it'll look like w/ the stock boot though :/
