I have the top one in black. :)

They're all nice, but I think if you could do the aluminum Z28 knob, in the silver color with black engraving, that would look sharp...Then again, a plain silver knob would also be nice...sometimes subtle and plain is the way to go...

I kind of like the 3rd one the most I might go with that one.

Between heat (on the metal ones) and grip on the Hurst one, you'll probably wish you had stuck with a leather knob. I had the white ball, but the grip isn't good, and the jam nut wasn't comfortable. But hey, I'll sell you mine. Still have the original package even. I ended up with the SLP leather knob.

Momo has some really nice ones.

The trick to the Jam-nut on the Hurst Classic knob is to NOT use it. Add a dob of blue loctite to the threads before you tread it on, postion it how you want it and let it set to cure. The first time I used my Hurst with the jam-nut I ripped open the skin of two of my fingers on the 1-2 shift. I asked on SLP's forum when it exsited and that was their solution.

I had the stock leather Hurst Knob but went to the classic ball because even if if it slicker it fit my hand better and pivots on your hand better for cleaner shifts.

I have the 2nd one, only with WS-6 on it, and in black.

It get's pretty hot in the summer, but if you have tinted windows, it seems to help considerably, and I don't think you'll find a better fit, as they are pretty big!

I love mine!
