Looks like a CR shift knob, but I think all those were engraved in yellow. Maybe someone repainted it?

^ I think the knob in Mark's car was titanium knob that was offered as an accessory. I could be wrong though. I am thinking of going back to the OEM knob for a bit to see how that feels.

The CR Knobs were not countersunk though, too bad, otherwise I would have one

I still love my decade old MUZ, and thanks to some jeweler's polish, it stays looking just like the traditional big ole round chrome ball in vintage Ferrari's.

This is the only Honda OEM Titanium Knob that I'm aware of, and yes, it is indeed a Honda part number

Looks like a Moddiction shift knob. I just bought one w/o the shift pattern.

Good choice!

As I recall his are 2" in diameter

My 1st knob purchase was a Voodoo, I actually used it for only a week or so before I sold it here used, I hated it, it was too small in diameter, it felt wrong. Later Voodoo came out with a Magnum version which was larger, I have no clue what they offer nowadays.

I then bought the other option at the time, the MUZ, he advertised his as a larger diameter 51mm (51mm = 2.00787") and as soon as I got it I was blown away by how much better it felt.

Oh, I forgot, the Voodoo had no set-screw, people would screw around with pieces of paper in the knob to keep the thing from turning down to far and having the engraved pattern running sideways.

When I got my MUZ it was not perfect, it had a small step in the round shape that I could feel. I complained and I got another knob for free, so I actually have two now.

When Dad was still alive we turned down a shaft out of brass that fits into my drill press. I just put the knob on it and put it into the drill press, turn that on high, take some oil, gloves, polar fleece, and jeweler's polish and presto, a perfect finish that is easy to keep up to a high gloss, that is nothing more than a chunk of aluminum...
