Check out this knob. http://a1.cpimg.com/image/87/E3/10196871-0602-020001DA-.jpg
It's supposed to be from a JDM forester. Any here seen it before? The MOMO emblem is a perfect match for the JDM STi steering wheel. I ordered this knob but it came with the regular black MOMO emblem so I sent it back. If you have some info, especially part #'s please post here or e-mail me at rfvibar@hotmail.com Thank you very much.

Looks like a "Race Air Leather Aluminum" to me.

You can get them from SPS (http://www.spswebpage.com/) and Sports Car Parts (http://www.sportscar-parts.com/shift_knobs.html) which are a bit closer to you.

Stefan,
It's a MOMO Race Airleather Aluminum Type S which has a wider base than the regular Race Airleather. In addition, this knob is a screw-on replacement for the original factory knob; it doesn't use set screws like most MOMO knobs. Plus, the base is machined to hold up the OEM boot. It is offered as an option on Foresters. You can see it at www.subaru.co.jp. Just go to the "3D Customize" link.

Sorry m8, didn't realise. Can't any scooby Dealers in the states send you an accessories catalogue for the Forrester? Should have all the part#'s for both types. Sorry I can't be of more use ;)
SB,
The surround looks like either a Nitosport (http://www.nitosport.co.uk/) one or a Motion Styling (http://www.motionstyling.co.uk/aluminiumframes.html) job.

Stefan,
I actually did receive the knob from a local dealer for $140!!! The emblem didn't match the one in the picture (it was black instead of silver). It seems that the knob in the picture may have been produced for show cars only. The only one that Subaru sells is the one with the black MOMO emblem. The gear surround looks like the STi one for the WRX (it's sold here in the US for about $90).
