Where to buy OEM manual shift knob?

Has anyone replaced their manual shift know with the same OEM piece? I know I can obviously get one from a Honda dealer, but wondering if there's a cheaper source out there.

Ebay/Craigslist/Junkyard would be my best bet!

I year or so ago I was looking for one. I couldn't find one in any better shape than the one that needed replacing. I gave up and got this one: 08U92-TK6-100B | Honda Leather Shift Knob - M/T (Fit) - Bernardi Parts

You can only find it from a private party (Ebay/Craigslist/Junkyard).

There is one on ebay now:
2009 2013 Honda Fit Sport Manual Shift Knob Original | eBay

I'm going to try Razo Shift Knob
Amazon.com: Razo RA127A Sports Grip 400 Leather Shift Knob: Automotive Amazon.com: Razo RA127A Sports Grip 400 Leather Shift Knob: Automotive
and I can let you know what I think about it.

I tried Skunk2 for a few days and when switched back to manual OEM shift knob I realized that it's more comfortable size for me. Plus the fact that metal knobs get very hot and cold in summer and winter is also a turn off. I know some people keep a glove in the car for it thought I'm not sure if I'd want to do that...

I don't like any of the other knobs, hence my question about finding an OEM (new) knob. That one on ebay looks heavily worn, about the same as mine. I ended up buying a new one from the dealer. Feels great. They made 2 changes to it. The outside diameter is smaller and they threaded it to sit higher on the stalk, which is welcome, though this makes the throws slightly longer, which I think they counteracted by reducing the diameter of the knob.

I have a feeling I'll end up the same way as you. How much was the original knob from the dealer?

I think I still have my like-new stock OEM knob. I forgot to swap it back when I traded in the car.

PM me to remind me to check if anyone would like to buy it. $25 shipped?

Not looking for a different design, hence the thread title "OEM" knob. I already purchased and installed knob and it's great.
