JDM STI aluminium shift knob. Bought it from japan parts and had it for a few weeks... It feels amazing! It is heavier than the stock knob, but i think its just the right weight. Also, i feel like my shift are and feel much better after using this knob.

Quality is top notch, you cannot beat OEM quality.

Quality is top notch, you cannot beat OEM quality.

OEM beats a lot of cheap stuff, but for the price, it isn't hard to make a product that has better quality or materials, unless it is specific to mass production. For example, it is easier to CNC a aluminum or other metal shift knob to best OEM cast aluminum, but for painting a wing, for instance, it is hard to replicate on a small scale that quality with price. Then again, usually aftermarket OEM is inflated beyond standard production, so costs are still ridiculous for what you get.

This isn't a pic of mine, but it's the one I have. TRD knob.

I like how it matches the red stitching and provides a bit more mass to grab for those of us with large hands.

I love it! Can you share the vector you used to order this? I'd love to get one of my own.

The phrase, it's easy to do, never should be uttered with, removing a RLO. Shit is not easy. Sure there are only a few steps but getting that pin out was a bitch.
