Your GF's is the standard knob provided with the car, and is made of plastic with aluminum look paint and leatherette Your knob is real aluminum and leather, and is an extra cost option. Your knob is heavier, and thus, some say, it will give you more solid, direct shifts. I have had the real aluminum knob in my car before, but found that I didn't actually like it cause it got very hot in the summer if I parked in the sun, and I actually can shift faster with the standard, lighter knob. Thus, I put on the 987 standard knob cause I like the ball shape, and am happy with it.
