Need a new shift knob but not sure what to get

FairladyZ · 12-26-2012, 08:14 PM

Hebi bebi is ridiculous.

Smother shifts, it feels shorter cause its lower, the weight makes a difference

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 08:25 PM

Ok well I can buy one for a mere $279.99. I'll shop around a bit I guess.
I'd have to wait a few weeks to do that and never ever tell my girlfriend how much it cost*

*ever

If you bring her to a FFX meet, we give you our MAZOC promise to never mention it.

We have an agreement. I don't have to go to church and she doesn't have to go to "car things".

Any interest in my old nismo carbon/titanium shift knob? It's a little worn around the top but the nismo printing is still crystal clear and it looks nice in the car.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow morning - figured I'd offer it here before I post a FS thread in the parts forum.

dmhenderson · 12-26-2012, 09:49 PM

Honestly, I have no idea why the top looks worn either. I don't wear a ring so it's not metal on metal scuffing. I wouldn't think my hands are enough to scuff it up but who knows. Might be able to be buffed out now that I think about it.

Edit: lol I just suggested that you buff my knob.

MyKindaGuise · 12-26-2012, 11:55 PM

Meh I could be mildly interested actually

Not sure if you had seen the Password JDM shiftknobs.

dmhenderson · 12-27-2012, 09:11 AM

Yep actually one of the first sets I looked at. Going with the TK knob though.

TK knob purchased. The sales rep tells me that pretty much the entire Japanese automotive industry is shut down for Salon for the next two weeks. Quoting 1-3 months for delivery. God bless JDM.

$250 and you pay for domestic shipping. Not a bad deal.

How has nobody suggested TWM to this kid yet? All the ricer JDM ones are being thrown out :-/

I've got the Leopard A6 in gunmetal

dmhenderson · 12-27-2012, 06:58 PM

Yeah I did look at those. There was a guy selling the piston model in the FS forum.

I went with the TK knob though. General consensus seems to be that it's worth it.
