golf ball shift knob yes or no...

I was reading an article on the original GTi and it says it had the golf-ball shift knob. So that's where it started. Sounds kind of cool.
Plus it's cheap. Are they still cool, or played out?
I'm talking about the black rubber Kamei one, not any of the machined aluminum ones.

Those are cool, but I dont think it would match in my car. Plus I already bought a leather shift boot, wouldnt want it to go to waste

I used to have that all rubber one, and it was pretty sweet to be hones with you. Wasn't the greatest looker but it felt good. Then I went with a metal one for looks, and it did look better, but I kinda' liked the feeling of something a little softer and warmer in my hand (no pervy comments please). Then, I managed to score one of these bad boys right here, best of both worlds! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I love that, but I thought it required some modding to fit?

I read on their site that that knob will fit mk1 - 4 but what about this one?

it is at the top of the page...looks very similiar but does not say GTI on it...they don't say if it will fit mk2 or not, they just call it the mk4 jetta special edition or something...same price $90

HELLOOO!!!
Where the blue hell can I get that one with the Motorsport logo!!
I already have the Lupo GTI one, and the other one'll fit too...no mods, just spoke to the RPI folks a few weeks ago about that!

Oh yeah, that's hot. I'm tempted to make this my wallpaper, that things beautiful. I'd almost be hesitant to put that in my car, I'd want it in some kinda' display case on the mantle or something

Autotech's got some of these, pretty cheap too from what I remember, like 40 bucks or something?

http://www.vwaftermarket.com/ look under shift knobs. With the trimsport ones, you can choose a cap on the golfball. I'll be looking at getting one with the 16v
