...shows off the wood band better.

Default Wood!!!

I think the wood **** would blend much better with your walnut dash/radio/ac inlays...but hey..just my opinion!! Good luck with the decision!

Default One cool thing about no button *****...

...is the trick lift to shift. Just a simple pleasure, but the lift to get out of park and the nice cool ball in my hand when in tip mode made a difference to me.

That button seemed mundane at the time.

Default Best of both worlds? New MOMO **** just out

This is the best one I think if you want to match the Alu trim.

Default I REALLY like the top one- Ideal would be the top one w/wood inserts where the chrome is!

I would seriously consider that shift ****- the stock black leather one is so pedestrian!
