Heavy Shift Knob that doesn't cost $100+

[E4Performance]

How many people would be interested?

What design do you like?

What type of finish? (stainless, black, etc)

Personally, I like the look of black annodized.


Thanks

Scott

I would definitely be interested Just like the TWM Big type r in stainless steel!

[BudUMfan]

me too

[Dash08]

Anodized black with red gear pattern. That would look clean.

Maybe include a cheap little shift knob cover to keep it from getting hot while not in use. Or make one seperately if that's asking too much for under $100 bucks.

id be interested as long as it doesent roast in the summer heat.

Interesting idea. Let me look into that too

you just want a super cheap cover? or maybe embroidered with the mazdaspeed logo?

[wassup61]

round, black, red gear pattern. I will buy one

[superskaterxes]

how bout black with custom gear pattern colors?

[AmillieMS6]

im down

[E4Performance]

I'm not going to do a bunch of custom gear color stuff. I'm an engineer/machinst, not an artist. lol.

back when I used to do model cars, you could get a detail brush and a bottle of testor's paint from the hobby store for about $8. Voila, custom colors for your pattern.

def would be interested in something similar to the big type r, and somethign that wont singe my finger prints off in the summer (florida heat)

[tozfeekum]

Stainless steel/anodized black + engraved pattern thats all!

Leather-covered or rubberized would be awesome. Maybe you guys in the north or mid-west don't care, but there's no way to have a naked metal shift knob in the south-west. You'd get 2nd degree burns while shifting. I can barely touch the top of my stock knob as it is.

+1 for leather, I hate burning my hand.

+1 for using redline goods so it matches all their shit that I already have in my car.

[Kdawg207]

id def be down
im looking now as we speak... so im ready

[skeeter149]

hey i got this a few years back on sr20forum from some guy who said he contracted a little old lady to make them. at the time you could choose solid color, or multi. there was a spoon color scheme, mazdaspeed color scheme and here is the nismo color scheme i got it cost me 7 dollars shipped for two of them ( i also got a greddy blue one for my friend). not saying this is what ya'll want but its a option. it stretches enough to fit my greddy knob (a big ball) and even keeps your hand from freezing in the winter not to mention the summer burn. the two strings are for tightening it and i havent ever had it slip off. anyhow pics and good luck...

[Hectik1]

Interested.

[IshiKage]

how about the shiny blackish stainless steel color. color of the NIssan GT-R wheels. if so, id be down.

I was just thinking to keep costs down. If you could swing some fancy logo one's that would be awesome!

my mom can make shit like that, ill ask her to try to make something like that and see how it turns out

[reddeerspeed3]

heavy, anodized black, and shift pattern. i like the cover idea too. no more frostbite or blisters ftw!

[boardjnky4]

meh, shift pattern isn't even needed

[802MS3]

interested. sounds like some good ideas so far.

agreed, personally would rather not have a shift pattern.

it's kinda anti theft for people that don't know where reverse is haha.

seriously dude this looks gay

[E4Performance]

If we do the cover, it will be very clean. I have some ideas on it thanks to my wife

[tozfeekum]

So is this a go.. should i wait or should i just go with twm?

[superskaterxes]

shift pattern is a must cause u dont want some idiot getting in your car and putting it into 6th thinking hes going to go in reverse. a good example of this would be valet

[boardjnky4]

you guys let valet drive your cars? lol I used to work valet. I would NEVER let valet behind the wheel of my car after that.

also, what's the cost going to be?

[wankular]

I have a TWM Big Type R that sits outside in 110 Arizona heat all day, it's like touching a hot frying pan. I use one of those ipod sock covers, although I got it from my nephew and it has a Scion patch on it. It fits good and doesn't slip much.

[Urkend]

+1 on black w/ red pattern

[E4Performance]

It's a go. I need to do some CAD drawings and get a few made up.

[tozfeekum]

awesome, put me down for one!

gay maybe but my hand has never been burned and for like $3.50 i could care less if its gay looking. i would care if its pink!

thats what im saying. valet will never drive my shit

[phantom3]

What weight are we talking about here?

[Dash08]

Could you put this "M" on the top of the shift knob instead of a pattern?

[GoSpeed3Go]

$99.99 j/k

[Vin]

I would definitely be interested in this.
