Nice shot.

Do both plastic structure "rings" below the sill fit within the height of the Alcantara side trim? Trying to figure out whether the structure here is removable using the screws visible in your photo:

Hard to tell without starting to dismantle it.

The service notes suggest it’s not straightforward and I’m afraid the standard setup doesn’t offend me enough to start down that road.

Well, I’ve found exactly what I want to match my steering wheel and seats. It’s from Billetworkz.com. Once we figure out some of the details of the stock knob (thread pitch and lockout clearance required), I’ll chat with them and see if there is something that might fit.

Do we have instructions for removing the knob??

The knob is under tension from the spring, so don't let it get away from you as you unscrew it.
