Default OEM Carbon Fiber Shiftknob....

found an old stack of magazines the other day and found an old Acura ad showing optional "ITR" equipment like the floormats, bra etc, and there was a carbon fiber shiftknob among the accessories. i thought i had a mental catalogue of anything and everything itr but i guess i never noticed that shiftknob before... since ive never seen it in person either.

if anyone ever rocked it, post some pics. it looks like your typical cf **** finished with shiny resin, but the "A" in red stamped on it.

Strangely, that part is still available. With my luck, as soon as I say that, everyone will order it and it'll be discontinued. LOL

You fail... they were made for Acura by MOMO.
And I lubbed mine, cool to the touch in summer, warm in the winter, fit the hand perfectly.
Not like this round aluminum "Blazing Shiftknob 0' Doom" that came on the EVO.
