Wow, that silver looks super sharp in the dark. Congrat's!

Highly recommend replacing the shift knob. If you think you like the feel of shifter now, just wait. :D

Completely new to this sort of thing! I wouldn't mind looking into changing the knob. Any recommendations?

eriktherod 08-03-2012 05:16 PM

Don't worry, it's easy as literally unscrewing it (counterclockwise) with your hand. Then your new one, you just screw back on the same way and tighten it down with your hand.

As for recommendations, depends on the look/shape you want. Flossy and BLOX have some cool ones. TRD makes one but you'll pay a lot for it. Mine is from WC Lathewerks and is custom made stainless steel. Not cheap, but damn is it nice.

Something like this would be so cool :

Congrats! I called the dealership today and they haven't gotten their allocations in yet, so I have no idea when I'll be getting mine. I want it in Whiteout and that seems to be an extra hassle. We'll see what they say after the weekend.

Looking good. Congrats!

Congrat!
But does it chirp? Lol

PoRco 08-04-2012 04:27 AM

Nope :P

But I hear some rumbling from the back of the car.

I heard some members complain about this

Do it up bro!

Argento is definitely one of the more underrated colors for this car.

It makes it look soooooo classy. I was beginining to regret my color choice after reading some peoples opinion on the color on the forums . But as soon as I got it IRL, I fell in love sooooo hard. No doubt whatsoever about the Argento now

LOVE IT.

stalon320 08-04-2012 09:51 AM

I can wholeheartedly recommend Voodoo knobs...

PoRco 08-04-2012 02:57 PM

Damn. Looks nice.

So what are the advantages besides the "look" of a new knob.

Does it shift easier?
