Hey guys, I got tired of my worn out looking shift knob. I had replaced it with a TRD on, and after I did that, I tried cutting the leather off to see what was underneath. Sure enough, the leather shift knob has the black non-leather shift knob underneath. All I did was cut the seams carefully, then peel it off where it was glued to it. There was quite a bit of glue residue, so I boiled it for about a minute, and then used a kitchen scouring pad with some "goo gone" (sold at Wal Mart and Home Depot) to clean it off. Now I've got a shift knob that won't wear out like the leather one did. Now I have to wonder if it's the same thing for the steering wheel... Anyone know?

I did it. It doesnt look bad at all. But since I live in MN its going to get cold as hell. Not as cold as a metal one though.
