Weighted leather shift knobs?

m4a1mustang · 03-09-2010, 08:02 AM

Does anyone know of any leather, weighted shift knobs out there that work with our Zs?

I am running a Team Voodoo pearl ball knob right now, but I think I need a little more heft, and I miss the feel of leather.

If I can't find one in leather, I think I'll just end up getting a A6 Leopard from TWM (A6 Leopard Shift Knobs - TWM Performance Weighted Shift Knobs).

On that note... I'm guessing an upholstery shop could wrap one of those knobs in leather, no?

Bump up the thread
Bump it up
While your eye's are lookin'
And the thread is bumpin'.

Anyone?

I'm pretty sure you can get a shop to leather wrap the knob. As far as the knob goes, I put it on with the B&M short shifter three weeks ago and I love the feel.

A6 Leopard? Which finish did you get?

I got the satin finish with the etching on the ball. This is the only pic I have though. Its sort of dark because its from my iphone. I can take higher res. pics later tonight if you'd like.

Awesome -- looks like you have the same finisher I do.

If you could get a lighter pic up that'd be great, but if not don't worry about it. I was thinking about either satin or the stainless look, as I don't think the mirror finish would go with our interior.

I was debating between those two finishes as well. I chose satin because most of the interior of the car has mostly satin type look. If you go with the stainless, post up some pics.

Wish they had a pearl option... my Voodoo looks really nice.

initialgemini · 03-09-2010, 03:51 PM

actually it was your setup that inspired me to go with what I have right now LOL

Haha, awesome! Man, I just wish the Team Voodoo knob was as heavy as the TWM. I think this one is only 175 grams where the TWM is a little over 450.
