I have found a shift knob that says it fits an XJ8 XJR in the description. Will this fit my 2000xk? Thanks!

 

Yep

 

The quality of aftermarket knobs varies considerably. Some of the nicest ones I have seen are made by http://www.britishautowood.com/gearknob.html. He also sells some variants on ebay.

 

I had him make a red growler gearknob. It was very nice. I used the old one for a paperweight.

 

Check out my garage pictures...I have one too!

 

CK;

I like my factory gear knob but wow those wooden models look great and I have all green growlers on my car.....very tempting.

Thanks and cheers,

For those that want something a little different, black and chrome




Flick the cap

 

This guy's pictures of the knobs look great and his prices seem very fair. What I am sort of interested in is replacing the black plastic door handle coves with wood ones, or at least something that looks classier than the black plastic. Do you know if BritishAutoWood or someone else produces any reasonably priced cove pieces?

I love the pearl inlay with perhaps a silver/chrome medallion on the top. My birthday is coming up. (Hint Hint hubby dearest)
