I'm also looking to get mine refurbished. Just came across this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Refurbishment-Service-Honda-Civic-Type-R-Ep3-Gear-Knob-Jdm-Ukdm-Dc5-/251262020363?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a80622b0b
The knobs are identical to these in the civic type r (EP3)....and there are a couple of blokes on the civic type r forum that used to offer a refurb service for £10-15. A google search should bring those up. Or the eBay link above is probably not a bad shout either.

Is this from the ebay guy I linked?
Guys, you know you can get a replica one off eBay for about £20? I've got one, it's heavy and feels good. For the sake of taking your off, sending it away and waiting for it to be sent back... Could be worth just buying a new replica for £20.

I paid for a replica the other day, but there were subtle differences and that doesn't sit right with me so i'm sending it back to the buyer. Will be getting mine refurbed.
Fair enough.

The brushee effect is done using the wet and dry sand paper ... the gear knob will be attaches to a bolt, then you attach the bolt to the drill and wrap the gear knob around with wet and dry sand paper and spin the drill at a slow pace, if you want the shiney chrome do the same thing but put some autosol on a cloth and spin again... its very simple guys
