hmm, did i mess up?

Got a new titanium shift knob from grafixpressions, weighing in at a whopping 1.5 pounds!.. i like the color and everything but recently my GF said it looked dumb, that the old knob flowed better. I ignored her, what does she know about cars. but then i gave my dad a ride somewhere, and he didnt really like it, even a couple friends of min said it didnt really flow with the car... after so many people, i kind of wonder if its true? u guys think the old one looked better? id have to buy a new OEM knob since mine was one of the unlucky ones with enough lock-tight to last a lifetime lol.
i also thought shifting would feel better since its so heavy, but i think the old one felt better.

excuse the crappy photo quality, its an iphone pic.

Don't let em get to u!!!!

DEpointfive0 · 02-11-2013, 01:23 PM

Why not paint or PC it black?

And/or if you want another stock shift know I can overprice sell you another too, lol

you need to get the biggy type-r knob from twm if you really mean it.

I got the password jdm one that everyone was raving about, only to miss the OEM one. Plus in the summer time the knob gets soooooooooooo hot if you leave it in the sun. Only way to help this out is to put a sock over it. Looks pretty silly driving with a sock over you knob though...

Putting a sock over your knob should never go outside the comfort of your bedroom.....

I might have to consider overprice paying for your OEM

What color might you recommend?
You think its possible to get that brushed steel look on it?. I was also considering pasti dip as a quick 5min thing just to get a feel for a different color. I wouldnt keep the plastidip of course lol.
