After a lot of back and forth, I decided to get the NRG shift knob pictured above, and I'm happy with it. It's a bit heavier than the OEM knob, but almost exactly the same size, and feels more temperature-neutral than OEM. I like the feel of it a lot. And as Jakabony mentioned above, it's absurdly easy to install. NRG doesn't seem to make it anymore, but if you Google the model number (SK-301BC-2-W), it's pretty easy to find inexpensively (I used ebay).So after an exhaustive online search and calls to several vendors, I finally found the shift knob I wanted. It is a weighted NRG carbon fiber shift knob that is threaded for Honda. I didn't want to deal with a universal knob that would potentially get loose. This one screwed right on the factory shifter, and fits perfectly. It weights 1.1 lbs and feels almost twice the weight of the factory knob. It allows some great solid shifting. Installation took an whopping two minutes.
The only thing I would have preferred was a knob with no writing on it, just carbon fiber. But I could not find that in a weighted option that was threaded for Honda.
