I think I'll keep my stocker unless I get the giggle gas then I'll get that hurst T handle with the button on it. I think it is a personal prefrence though just get what ever feels good on your hand. I think most of the aftermarket knob for mustangs look cool you just gotta stay away from the ricey lookin ones from pep boys

Fat knob on my Pro 5.0 in my 02. Available thru www.fatknobs.com or other places, such as www.mustangsunlimited.com which is where I got mine. I have the 2.25" black with white shift pattern, very cool, a bit noisy, quite old-schoolish. Quality piece with a locking jam nut to keep it from coming loose. Threaded brass sleeve insert screws onto just about any handle, Pro 5.0, Tri-Ax or stock. I have a couple pics I took the other day, I just need to upload them off the camera. Let me know if you'd like to see how it looks.
Steeda polished knob w/ black trim on my wife's Tri-Ax in her 01.

I have the satin-finished Bullitt aluminum shift knob that is factory installed in the current Mach 1 Mustangs. Cost me $36 delivered through eBay. It's a beautiful knob, for sure.

I'm looking for a white shift knob with a red button on the side of it. I'm not going to juice my car but I think that would look good just for looks.

My hand sometimes slips at the track using the bullitt knob. Last time at the track my hand slipped off and I hit the rev limiter, it slung my belt off my supercharger.

With the stock leather knob on the triax in the lower position it looks hella cool because the stock knob screws in so deep the shifter looks like a little nub.
