I got my mom a BFI shift knob in black w/ red perforated leather for her GTI. I thought a red “coin” with the BFI badge would might look cooler than the black one it came with. So I got two. One is nice just like a red version of the black one that it comes with (the badge outlines are raised and its painted). The other is the same badge but a printed/etched logo on a flat coin... I emailed them, they responded quickly and are sending another nice red one! Anyway my mom chose the red over the black. Here are some bad pictures.
I already have the same knob (silver/black perforated leather) but because I am stupid I mounted it so that the seam in the leather is visible to me. To fix this I had to remove the coin and now I am faced with a decision. Do I add a splash of red to my completely black and silver interior, or do I just spin the knob around and correctly re-install the black coin?
Here you can see what it might look like with the crappy red coin and the seam facing the wrong direction.
