Fossy Shift Knobs caught my attention..
 
I see these two shift knobs that I really like, but I was wondering what the deal is about the weight. Like how much of a difference does it make? pros and Cons? As a person who's always stuck with stock knobs I don't have much experience with this so a little help would come in handy:)

They are amazing quality. The heavyweight will make your shifting smoother i have the shortie redhead and it actually feels like it just wants to float into the next gear.

how does it look from the drivers view? I saw pictures of those on the website and they also caught my attention but the texture didn't look as smooth and fancy as the ones I listed above.

Like this view? This knob is textured it dissipates the heat so it doesn't get as hot. Its like a textured powder coat.

I just got my Flossy Grip Tape Shorty a few days ago. I've never had a weighted shift knob before and I LOVE the effect. Shifts are smoother, and more solid feeling. High quality product. Highly recommended!

i thought only the shorty knobs will work on m/t for the reverse function.

correct because we have the lockout that you must pull up on the little nub on the bottom of the knob will block that.

Am i one of the only ones who doesn't like round shift knobs? What about cylindrical knobs?

I much prefer round. Unassuming looks and great feel.
