Shift Knob Question

KyleBucket · 03-07-2011, 01:12 PM

Hey you guys, I have a quick question about a new shift knob. I intend on getting the TWM M1 Abrams knob in Satin. My question is though, is that all I need? I read somewhere prior that you may need an adaptor of some sort. I'm hoping not. On my Si, I simply had to put a zip tie under the boot (to keep it up) and screw the knob down. I'm not getting a pattern either, so it doesn't need to be screwed to a certain point.

Am I fine?

Oh, and for opinions sake, which would match the silver in our cars better.. aluminum or satin?

That's satin. Aluminum is that, just more shiney.

With the way I hold it, this fits best. My Si's was like this.

Kenchan, ya bastard, I just realized you were the one I originally messaged about TWM knobs. Did you need a rubber grommet or anything with the stock boot or was install easy?

That's on my G35C and im using a momo boot along with custom collars inside the boot.

Yeah, it looks great.. but you don't think it'll work with the stock boot?
