Thanks for the update!

Received my knob today!!! Excellent packaging and a beautifully designed knob!
I installed it and it feels great, however the design of the ring on the LX trim will not fit over the locking nut, so I will need to swap out the collar. I was thinking about doing this anyway, so no big deal.
Here's a few pics of the package and don't forget to flip over the install card for your decal!

Per usual, the install steps provided by 27won was an amazing help. I had zero issues. I guess that may be another service this company provides that others typically do not and a good reason why the release of their products can take an extended amount of time . Taking quality pictures and explaining install steps in great detail takes time!
The knob is a little higher than stock but is not a con, it will just take a little getting used to. Shifting quality has without a doubt increased. The weight of the knob is perfect imo. I feel like I drive a stick better with it lol. It matches the rest of the interior perfectly. Worth every penny! I think $99 is a good price also.

Thanks so much for the awesome reviews guys. Very happy to see everyone is digging the shift knobs.

Can’t wait to slap this on with my Acuity Stage 3 short shifter kit.

Beautiful and functional knob. Plus, I have a place to keep my old knob!

Finally, all is right with the world!
(Edit: Thanks to 27WON for taking the time to get this right)

Just installed mine today, and I can confirm, this shift knob is high quality. The weight is perfect--not too heavy like the skunk2 knob, and not too light like the OEM knob. Nice look and feel of the leather as well.

The only con i can think of is it does sit a little higher. But im getting used to that.

I've got mine on now. Shipping was on time and the packing was excellent. I'm very happy with the new knob! Sits a little higher then stock but so much as to be a problem for me. Thanks! It matches so well and surprisingly heavy for the size.

just gotta say WOW, this is the best designed with the highest quality Mod i have bought for my car yet, its a perfect weight, height, the size fits perfect in my palm and it feels oh so good in my hand, and ya that IS what she said.

I just got my 27Won knob and I really don't like it. It is too tall, so my hand more often runs into the HVAC buttons. The shift rows are longer now than I'm used to and slows down shifting. I don't really understand why it was made to be taller than OEM.

The factory shift knob can only be (comfortably) used with an overhand grip. This, like many aftermarket knobs, is designed to use either overhand or side grip. As a result, the shift knob itself must be taller than the factory knob to accommodate that style and so if you use overhand then it will feel noticeably taller. This isn't a problem unique to 27WON. Any knob you get that isn't a ball or block of sorts will have these approximate dimensions. I changed out my entire shifter assembly with the Acuity shifter and found myself in the opposite situation of having a shifter that felt too short, until I added this knob from 27WON. So now I shift overhand (like i'm guessing you do) but at the same height as the factory setup and everything is in balance. The irony is that Acuity's shifter is fully adjustable (throw length, knob height, gate spacing) but the taller knob height with the factory knob just felt weird in my hand. For me, the best solution was a shorter setting with a taller knob attached.

Whereas I do generally recommend the Acuity shifter as a good product for anyone specifically seeking such a thing, I'm not recommending it as a solution for your shift knob height dilemma. I'm merely trying to give you as much information as possible about why design decisions were made and why some people seem to love those decisions. Good luck to you finding a solution that fits your needs, and let us know what you find. I'm always excited to see what people land on.
