I have been considering the orange shift knob from thezstore.com, but I have not been able to find any reviews regarding the quality of the products they sell. Have any of you dealt with this company before? Are the products they sell worth it?

Here are the shift knob I am considering:

I'd like to keep with the factory look and my current factory shift knob has some of the paint wearing off where the PO's ring rubbed against it (other than that, the interior is flawless). Plus, I think the above shift knob would look pretty slick with the orange seats in my car.

Cheers!

I have not dealt with the Z store. I have had considered buying parts from them especially since I am only 45 minutes away. If you do go ahead and place that order, please let us know of your experience. The quality of the knob should be top-notch espedially since it looks OEM from Europe. (will that make it DTM?)

...and yes, it would complement your interior well.

the Z store, better known as MSA, has been a specialty Z car supplier for many years, and are generally known to sell quality products, with excellent customer service, but generally no the cheapest, although they are known to give discounts on phone orders if you tell them you are a acca member, and their prices seem to have gotten more competetive in the past couple of years

Received the shift knob today; it is actually an official Nissan part. It looks amazing and the install was very straight-forward. I'll post pics when there is some light out again.

I am satisfied with how it looks, the install was very very simple. I followed the directions in the DIY sticky article by Dasoup. The only thing to note is you will need to remove the rubber bushing from up inside of your old shift knob to use with the new knob (only with these factory replacements) and be sure to use some blue loctite on the threads.
