Give the shifter a sportier, more focused feel with a red-stitched leather knob that enhances grip and ties in with other performance interior trims.

$180

This AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob with Red Stitching gives Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012) a more performance-focused feel, using premium leather, ergonomic shaping and height adjustability to enhance both aesthetics and shift precision.

  • Made from genuine Nappa leather with hand-sewn red stitching for a sportier, motorsport-inspired look
  • Features a compact 42 mm diameter that sits naturally in the driver’s hand
  • Height adjustable between 73 mm and 91 mm, allowing you to tailor shifter reach and throw
  • Weighted to approximately 190 g to encourage a smooth, confident shift feel
  • Finished with a laser-printed AUTOEXE logo on the top plate to complement other AUTOEXE upgrades

You will feel a more direct and engaging connection to the gearbox, with every shift feeling cleaner, more accurate and more satisfying in your 2003–2012 RX8.

If you prefer a more understated factory-style interior, the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob with Black Stitching is an ideal alternative, and both pair beautifully with the AUTOEXE Braided Sports Clutch Line for a more precise pedal-to-shift feel.
