It seems like a lot of people have been getting new shift knobs recently... I did as well!
Good choice, I had the same in my Mk7 and now in my 7.5. My only gripe is the rear WeatherTechs can curl up pretty bad and don't hold shape. Front set is a lot better quality though.
Black out the center section with vinyl. Totally transforms the wheel.Had the eibach sport kit and Bilstein B8s installed. Oh, and the 18" Cadiz wheels. Not sure how I feel about the wheels yet, may go back to the 17"Neuspeed rse16s.

Looks good. Sportshifters? I like how the top is contoured instead of flat, more ergonomic that way. The gloss black looks real good too.It seems like a lot of people have been getting new shift knobs recently... I did as well!

Hmmm..I may have to try that. How well does it hold up? I don't want to have to reapply it over and over. Happen to have any pics of if on a car? Thanks!Black out the center section with vinyl. Totally transforms the wheel.

Thanks! I am gonna give a little while. I don't hate them at all, just different than what I had, just gives the car a totally different look than what I was used to. It's strange, the closer I am to them the more I like them!Looks awesome.
Give the Cadiz wheels a chance to grow on you. I hated them when I bought my '16 R, but over time, I then tolerated them, then actually grew to like them. And they're 2 lbs lighter than the Englishtown wheels on my '19, which is plenty to feel the difference.
how long did it take for you to get your knob?
