You wouldn't believe the bitching price tag. Completely satisfied with the purchase though, @Zgrinch. A heavier knob WILL change up feel and at least IMO I enjoyed the way it changed feel. I feel LESS like I'm manhandling the tranny now.

Alright how much was it....... Yea I know the one I told you i am getting is heavy, and I hope I get the same reaction as to the feel.

More than a well optioned Lathewerks knob. Yen was stronger when I bought it.

Sometimes a tranny just wants to be held...

Well from the looks of it, I'd say its worth it. Very nice.

Nice. Always liked Flossy, but it's pricey. I'm on my third nob now because mine tend to deteriorate in the Vegas heat. How is that holding up? And how'd you get the 86 engraved? But, again, very nice.

Just ordered my Flossy Grip Rod Heavy Weight With my custom engraving order

Some very nice shifters in here - I'm eyeing the Flossy Elton ( http://www.shopflossy.com/collection...ucts/the-elton ), but I do have a question I didn't see an answer to in here.

What is the stock weight of the default shift knob for the FR-S?

This might give me an idea if I want the standard or heavy weight option.

I love the piano black knob. I'm trying to determine the weight of the voodoo knob. So far Flossy's heavy weight at 525g is the heaviest I've found. Wonder if they can do piano black.....

Large than stock , nice and smooth . I like.
