White Hurst. Love the look, hate the feel. Best one I had was a nice leather one that looked like factory that I bought on ebay. Might have been a FMS.

I've tried a few and so far I like the stock knob best.

I have had the stock, a round billet aluminum (way to hot to grab on to in the Summer heat), a Pro 5.0 ball, & a leather Cobra shifter knob. I now have the Hurst white ball shifter knob and so far like that one the best. It is the cue ball sized one, not the smaller white Hurst knob.

Had a couple, but just prefer the look and feel of the stocker. On a side note for you guys that have a Metal Knob that gets blazing hot in the sun, I kept an old can style beer coozie in my car and slipped that over the knob in the summer. Kept that thing nice and cool.

Here's the one I plan on putting on my car sometime soon, I don't like the Hurst ball very much...

Hurst T Handle Shifter

The Mustang I learned to work on had it. I love the look and feel.

I really like the looks, and feel of these Steeda shifter knobs. Aluminum knobs with rubber grips.

They have different colors. I have the black on black one.

I used a Hurst chrome T handle. Feels awesome when I sit in the car and make engine noises and click through the gears
