I really wanted the Tommy Kaira but they're back ordered...plus they scream "Steal Me". They offered a TK clone in many colors, also Titanium color to better match my car but I got black. I think it will blend in with the interior of the car better. I'm not a showy guy so subtle is better for me.
Hopefully this black one that's an exact clone - sans Turtle, will satisfy me. Honestly I don't even know if I'll like it or not, so this will be a learning experience for me. I've never had a heavy shift knob before, many many articles on here solidly recommend them so I'm giving one a try.

I may, in time, have it repainted another color and engraved. Shouldn't be too expensive to have that done.

Surely $90 is a typo? Right?

I have the same knob, two of them actually (dif colors)

Love the shape and weight. I REFUSE to spend $300 on a piece of CNC'd steel, thats batshit insane.

Wow.

I really do like the titanium one, but holy moly, it's $160 with options.

I could turn out knock off T.K. knobs all day with a very old CNC lathe lol ok maybe 1/2 hour in the vertical mill time for the stupid turtle lol. I would pay $90 for a shifter knob but not much more.
P.s. Hoowwww much for your seeeeeeister? :rofl2:

Sorry man couldnt resist.

I got the polymer because of the heat out here... I love it. Its deep set and when I rest my arm it is straight in line with the shifter.

I can imagine what your time to make a knob (even program it to the CNC and babysit it until it's finished) would cost....would be nice to have someone to give our money to that would actually have earned it.

I got mine in a matter of a couple weeks. Odd. I also cover mine with a cloth to avoid the $38 degree in the sun and -281 degree in the cold knob... haha

Actually I should have said "Wait time for delivery is 4-6 weeks on some website in japan offering them for 201.00. Domestically there were a couple of websites offering the TK genuine for 250 and up. No way am I paying that much....I do really want one but that's too much for me.
