Lein i have a brass shift-knob i could send you if you want something even heavier. Just be careful when its hot out.

It was custom made and they made like 40 instead of just 1 so i have a bunch lol. 2 Different styles, can post pictures tonight.

I have 4 knobs as is. I just hotswap them whenever one gets to hot when sitting for extender periods lol. Btw, how has your car been coming along from repairs?

******* almost no progress thanks to the insurance. Theyre fighting both me and the shop because they dont think it needs OEM parts when we want oem parts. Theyre giving Corner 3 a hell of a time, plus whenever i call i end up leaving a voicemail, but never get a call back.:mad::mad::mad:

I need to do something about it so i can get it fixed then send it over to get it re-wrapped :/

How can insurance dictate what parts you want? They should just cut you a check and your source the parts you want or pocket the check. I've never heard of insurance stating not using OEM to cut costs

:iagree: make them send you a check.

They have sent me checks, but theyre giving me / the shop pricing for aftermarket parts not OEM. So **** like the bumper and stuff are a hundered and some dollars short of what it needs to be.

That's $hitty. I just have to show my insurance an invoice for an aftermarket part and they'll cover it. For OEM parts, I've had them source them for me at lower prices but we confirmed they were OEM.

Most companies push for aftermarket OE quality parts if the car is more than a year old. Very rarely will they offer to pay for OEM parts right off the bat and the older the car is the less likely they'll pony up for 100% OEM parts. This is a very standard practice. Usually the body shop will work with them if you want OEM parts, at least that's been my experience. Sucks but it is what it is.

My body shop that I have used for 20+ years refuses to use anything but OEM. I had a bumper replaced and ins wanted to pay for aftermarket parts. The body shop owner is anal like me about cars and after they sent him 3 that did not fit properly the insurance company paid for OEM. Best of luck.

Any of you guys looking to buy an engagement/wedding band set? :icon17:

Sounds like the crappy company I just dealt with for my bumper. Sorry you're having a hard time.

Are you getting a divorce?

If so -- I can help. I have done it 3 times.

You sir are a glutton for punishment. I learned my lesson after the first time. :icon17:

Buying SPL FUCAs and Z1 2-piece front rotors tomorrow :D

I've got 1 under my belt already.

No divorce, just need to get rid of jewelry I'm not wearing.

We can discuss details when I see you next month.

Shot a 51 tonight and birdied a hole. I feel better. Putting was atrocious tonight.

"Birdied a hole"? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
