Just got my Samurai Shift Knob.

I got the 8inch version (also available in 6 and 10) from Jon Motoring. Looks like they get theirs from DND Motorsports, but ship it for free and all.
It's made out of pretty solid material, Probably aluminum or some metal, not sure specifically, but it's a nice weight (which I prefer) and feels very sturdy. Screws in just fine.

First picture is before screwing it in properly and second is after its straightened.
Please excuse my dusty interior.



After I unscrewed and rescrewed it in properly.




Impressions:
I love it. Everyone I've showed it to so far really digs it. However, it's probably not for everyone as I saw a lot of hate going around for their original post advertising the knobs. It is a little strange holding the handle when shifting as opposed to your palm facing down and shifting a spherical object. I think it definitely makes the interior look nice, more for show than anything of course. I don't find it to be too intrusive or distracting, but I'm sure the 10inch would be.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to up the interior look of the car or is into super Asian Japanese samurai culture shit. Yeah.
Call it rice if you'd like!


-Bought from JonMotoring.Com for around 75$ shipped.
