I found my stock shift knob in by 1g gst to be bulky and vauge to shift- so I bought a cheap weighted five speed aftermarket knob from amazon. It feels amazing but looks horrible because there is so much metal exposed. Is there an aftermarket knob that goes all the way down to the boot? What do you guys use? I don't want to go back to the stock knob because I shift so much better with this new weighted one. Thanks for reading.
 
I use OEM Evo8 shift knob. It screws right on and looks/feels so much better than the original 1g knob. It doesn't go "all the way down the boot" like you are looking for, but it is super nice and significantly shorter than the 1g one. One of my best mods to date :)
 
Personally I have a DC sports weighted knob, it almost meets the boot, and I love the shifts it gives. There's a ball or cylinder version, I have the cylinder in the talon as the ball felt bulky with the position of everything, and it exposed more of the shift shaft than I cared for. So the ball went in my mazda.

A 2g is a great option, as is the evo 8.
 
Miata mx5 shift knob has been my favorite so far. I had 2g stock, a VMS, carbon fiber, eBay brand. The Miata has some good weight to it, great size and feel to it.

Love my Greddy weighted knob, round and has a good throw to it as it is pretty heavy. Hard to find a heavy knob for me, so I have talked to a machinist that will thread a ball hitch ball that has the hitch part cut off. We will see how that works.
