Flossy HeavyWeight Shift Knob Review

The Moddiction fit my car MUCH better as it sat all the way down on the stick, while the flossy left a 1/4'' gap above the reverse lockout, which looked terrible. Also, my engraving was NOT center on my Flossy which really upset me considering the cost paid (center as in, centered on the axis, not meaning 'rotated correctly'). In my honest opinion, the Moddiction should be the one costing $110+ and the Flossy's around $80. Ryan Brecher at Moddiction is a true, stand up businessman, who is honest, and super easy to deal with. Never did I go even a day after emailing him without getting a response. Also he gave me his personal cell, and added me on Facebook saying if I ever needed anything else for the car, he would do what he can to take care of me. Chad (bossfloss) on the other hand didn't respond to even my first email until I filed a PayPal claim, and this was WEEKS after paying..

Sorry to thread dump, but I feel instances like this should be known..

Sounds good. I ordered it and it shipped immediately. Looking forward to getting it tomorrow.

I ordered mine a few months back, and I love it. I had zero issues getting it ordered, and Chad replied to all of my messages. I basically asked him if he had the STi logo + shift pattern already on hand, since it's used in a lot of the promo images. He was prompt to reply, and the knob I got was absolutely perfect.



Red on an STi maybe makes a little more sense considering it matches a lot of the STi accent colors.

Sounds like you're playing Russian Roulette when you order one of these...

not really, sometimes it just takes a little time for them to come in

And sometimes it takes reporting someone to Paypal and filing a credit card chargeback after they take your money and sit on it, don't respond to emails for a month and then just start stringing you along with "shipping soon" emails. Which then go to "it shipped last week" and then "it must have got lost".

It was funny that when I replied with a message about filing a USPS mail fraud claim, I had it on my doorstep with overnight shipping the next day.

Great product. Terrible "company".

And yes, I canceled the chargeback.

finally got a respose the other night saying they have shipped my knob and will provided tracking info shortly



still waiting for my tracking info and its been 4 days since they said they "shipped" it

at this point, lets see if it just shows up


ill never buy from them again

Having exact same issues with them ( a year later from your post )

When I made my order, I had planned to have it for my track day, and tey told me it would not be a problem, never made it, i emailed them, after prompting for a response they told me it hadnt even been shipped yet because they had issues with making the grip tape , I requested a shipping number in 2 emails, never got one, just sent another one, hoping to get a response.. I am wondering if they have even sent out yet, as one was to be for a gift, If it has not been sent out yet, I am going to be requesting a refund. No reason I should be waiting more than a couple weeks for a pair of shift knobs. especially being in North America.

I could be wrong and it could be a misunderstanding, I understand business can get busy, I don't want to knock them just yet, if the shift knobs are in by next friday I will be happy, I want them for my next track day.

Still no reply from them

I really liked the look and review of their heavyweight shift knobs. But with this terrible of customer service I will probably look elsewhere for a new shift knob.
