Satin Black vs Satin Purple Shift Boot Collar for POCO Knobs

The only differences are finish and price

Both collars are turned from 6061 aluminum, receive a satin anodized finish with laser-etched markings, and are compatible with all ACUiTY POCO and POCO-Insulated shift knobs. The kit includes three lay-flat cable ties for installation. The meaningful choice is color: satin black (SKU 1925-CLR-BK) or satin purple (SKU 1925-CLR-PP). The black collar is listed at USD 12.54 (catalog comparison price USD 19.00); the purple is USD 12.92 (also compared at USD 19.00).

What you get with either collar

• Satin Black Aluminum Shift Boot Collar for POCO Shift Knobs: 6061 Aluminum construction with satin black anodized finish and laser etching. The material and finish process are identical to the purple version, so durability and feel are not deciding factors.

  

• Satin Purple Aluminum Shift Boot Collar for POCO Shift Knobs: 6061 Aluminum construction with satin purple anodized finish and laser etching. Same construction as the black collar; the purple anodizing is the only material difference.

  

Finish and price side by side

• Satin black (1925-CLR-BK): Satin black anodized finish with laser etching. Price: USD 12.54 (catalog comparison price USD 19.00). A subdued, OEM-plus look that blends with most interiors.
• Satin purple (1925-CLR-PP): Satin purple anodized finish with laser etching. Price: USD 12.92 (catalog comparison price USD 19.00). A bolder accent that stands out against black or gray interiors.

Fitment: the collar is not universal

These collars are for use with ACUiTY POCO and POCO-Insulated shift knobs only. They are not compatible with any other shift knobs or boot collar accessories. That means the collar choice only matters if you already own or plan to buy a POCO knob. POCO knobs themselves are confirmed to fit a long list of Honda and Acura manual-transmission vehicles, from the 2002-2006 RSX to the 2024+ Integra Type S. However, some vehicles require modification to the shifter: two small steel bumps must be filed off the shift lever to clear the collar portion of the POCO. The supplied information does not specify which vehicles need that modification, so check your application before ordering.

Compatibility evidence

Installation: same kit, same method

Both kits include one shift boot collar and three lay-flat cable ties. The ties are used to affix the collar to your shift boot. ACUiTY provides install guides for SKU 1925, available as PDFs and videos on their website. Because the installation method is identical, your choice between black and purple does not affect how the collar goes on or stays in place.

Which finish should you pick?

Choose satin black if you want a subtle upgrade that looks close to factory but with a crisper finish. Choose satin purple if you want a visible accent that complements a purple shift knob or other purple details in your interior. The price difference is small—38 cents in the catalog—so let your interior styling guide you. If you are unsure, consider that satin black is easier to match with other black or dark gray trim, while satin purple makes a statement. Both are made from the same aluminum and share the same anodized finish durability.
