Oh, and nothing beats a simple sphere.
And shift pattern engraving is for grannies.

They do custom work too, just e-mail them your idea.
The co-poly is the shit because it's delrin on top (THAT DOESN'T GET HOT) and stainless on the bottom so it's still got weight. Entirely functional.

Damn, Razo is still around.

I used to have the RA42 on my Integra and Spoon and Skunk2 used to have to very nice shift knobs back in the days.

I'm not sure if I'll rock a metal knob this time around, especially in the summer time and that knob getting all hot.
