Do you have a worn out leather shift knob? Updated w/ pics, There's a normal rubber one underneath Options

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?

As someone said, this is also true for door panels with cloth inserts. Mine were getting faded and gross so we pulled the cloth off and what do ya know, a brand-new looking vinyl door insert! I love toyota

Oh, and MR2's are like that with the shift knobs too
