Well folks, I just got a brand new Authentic JDM EK9 Shift boot for the EJ6. Now, I have an EJ1 (US 93-95 EX Coupe) shift knob now. It's wore out. It's 13 years old and has been used a lot. I got this nice new EK9 boot (smell that new leather) and I want a new knob to go with it. I want an EK9 knob but the only place I can find one sells them for $185 USD New. Too much for me. I may stick a crowbar in my wallet and get a used one for $75 though.
SO, I was looking at a Skunk2 Knob which actually looks really similar. I like it and it's a more reasonable $50. There's also a Blox Racing knob I kinda like for $50. Spoon knobs are $59 but I'm not sure if I like the look of them or not. Other choices include OEM US EJ6/7/8, OEM US DC2, OEM US Prelude knobs, and other OEM Honda knobs (eBay FTW!!!). Also there is a knob in my glove box that appears to be an S2000 knob. It looks alright but I think it's kinda ricey to have a 6-speed knob in a 5-speed car.

The others I guess you either know or can look up.
So which do ya'll think yould be best?
*IDEA: I may be able to sell the S2000 knob and get a DC2/EK9 Type R knob!
