Default Which Voodoo shift knob finish looks best with black interior?

My Silverstone/Black S2k will be arriving in about 3 weeks. My wife is getting on me for a Christmas list. I am not big into mods, but it sounds like the Voodoo shift knob is an inexpensive mod that adds a lot to the driving experience, so I want to get one. I am wondering, which material/finish will look best with the Silverstone/Black color combo? It is kind of difficult to tell by the pictures. I notice that a lot of people seem to be going with the pearl aluminum, so maybe that's it. Just looking for some advice.

Thanks,
Andy

I also have the brushed aluminum one. True, it doesn't show fingerprints / oily hand prints. I also like it because it matches the brushed door sill. Before you put it on, drive the car around a little bit with the stock knob. You'll notice a big difference in the feel of the shifter after you put on the VooDoo. One of the best mods you can make in my opinion.

Polished aluminum in my car, the look is like chrome, and that takes me back to the traditional round chrome knob of a Ferrari.

Before you buy/receive the Voodoo make sure you know what size to get. I bought a regular Voodoo and did not like it, too small. I now have the Voodoo Magnum and for me, it is way better!

I agree with the idea of using your stock knob for a little bit before upgrading, it will make you appreciate it that much more! I went with the polished Magnum version, LOVE it, fits the hand much nicer than the stock knob and makes shifting even more of a joy than before....
