Well, part of it is here.. (The rest has arrived!)
Got the shift knob I wanted. Just need the rest of the car to arrive so I can install it onto the knob. :D

These are excellent shift knobs and this one is the 4th I've purchased. He will also do etching (gear pattern, or custom) and will do custom designs as well. I took some crappy installed pics. The sun was fighting me and my phone had trouble dealing with it. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7079/7...f54c760e_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7088/7...1d8b8548_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7224/7...115d545d_c.jpg I love it. It really fits the interior more, IMO. And as with every WC knob I've bought, it feels great. |
Looks good! I'm more partial to the "teardrop" and GF4 style he has on his website.
|
Been looking at these shift knobs for years. Now that I'll have a nice car, I might get one for it! :D
|
I've never heard about that copolymer stuff. It looks cool.
I've always wanted a Ti knob, but I don't want to freeze in the cold or burn my hand in the heat. Hrmmm... |
I think Im just staying stock bling wise for a while. Although Im sure I will hate the tacky shift and brake boots.
Hopefully jpmcoachworks does something for those. |

I like the sphere because my hand travels from one side of the shifter to the other as I go through the gears and the simple sphere makes the transitions smoother and more comfortable no matter how I grip it. |

The prices on the WC Lathe Werks website look much better than the ripoff ones at TWM.

I didnt even like my weighted twm knob on my STi. I switched it for a piston one from WC lathe works, which really grew on me.

what size does the BRZ take for the shift knob? i know there's certain ones that can and can not fit...
|
LMAO it's so funny how we already have stuff for our cars and they aren't here yet. I ordered a license plate relocater, 6" variable speed polisher, wash mitts and polishes. All of these are in the mail. Oh and a sweet long lasting car freshener.
I'm thinking about the knob too but I want to see what my feelings are towards a new knob, short throw, shifter bushings after driving my BRZ for a couple thousand miles. |
Right. Why am I going to change my shift knob for bling if it's under my hand. Also, I don't want anyone else riding in my car with me because the extra weight will affect the cars performance :lol:
