Mike, the TL-S gated shifter is the way to go I think, it looks so nice. The Caddy knob itself is nice, but the surrounding shifter trim in the Caddy makes it look good. If you put the Caddy knob with the stock 6GA trim, the knob may look a little out of place. Is the TL-S shiftgate and Caddy knob an option? That may require painting the shiftgate black though, dunno.
Yeah mine covers part of the pencil indent on the console, but honestly I never used it and it doesn't bother me. It's still a Honda OEM bezel, if it were some cheap aftermarket junk it might bother me more. But I don't notice, since I'm not in the passenger seat.
