WTB: ball shaped shift knobs (black)
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm still on the hunt for the perfect shift knob. I'm looking for a ball shaped shift knob in black with no engraving. Just want to see how they feel.

Example attached:

You're looking for a flossy knob then. I purchased one with engraving but got it oversized with grip texture. Solid product!

Make sure you read reviews on flossy's customer service before you decide to go with them.

Yeah the "customer service" is questionable. I know a few other companies make similar ball knobs too so i'm open to them as well. Currently still researching as I'd like to find something less than 2" wide. I think the flossy is exactly 2" wide which I feel maybe too big for me.

Might want to look into WC Lathewerks if you see something close to what you want, shoot Chris an email and he'll probably work with you to customize something.

How about a billiards 8-ball drilled with an insert glued in?

While not totally round, this is a nice shape:

Nice, i'll be considering this one. They advertise the shift knob as sitting lower which I don't think I would like, but will compare with the others.

8 is my favorite number but I'm aiming for a minimalist look

I actually have the Slammer in steel now. It feels nice and I love the metal click with their reverse lockout. But I've been paying more attention to my shift style and I usually go back to the stock knob because of the smaller size and taller position. But I think it's the smaller size that appeals to me. I certainly don't want to go with a counter-sunk knob though.

THe Anarchy Motive has a funky looking opening for the reverse lockout. I'll have to find one in black to see how much it stands out, but that's very close to what I'm looking for. Thanks

I tried their Anvil 2 but it just wasn't made for the BRZ (sits too low for the reverse lockout to slide up on the stcok lockout, and my Raceseng reverse lockout is too wide to fit in it. Customer service from Ryan was excellent though and i'm actually looking in the Anvil one now!

Personally didn't find it all that noticeable.

Update, I"m going to try the ball knob from Product Innovations. It's only $43 with shipping so if I don't like it I won't mind it too much.
