These new Cusco knobs are meant precisely for our car and if you know how to drive a manual transmission correctly and not like a hulking doofus .. these are IT.

Light, well made, precise.. accommodates the reverse lock-out.
That is a nice piece

I just gotta say the Team Voodoo knobs are top notch, sure they have no fancy engraving or what not, but they sit lower, have an amazing finish, and give amazing feedback from the tranny without being buzzy...plus the pearl finish has to be seen in person to really appreciate it.

My Flossy Shift knob. I took the time to paint the engraving to make it even more custom.

Man, being extremely honest, I had NEVER been a fan of custom shift knobs, never ever. I started looking into it because of @ngabdala shift knob. I can tell you it feels great. It does add weight and the shifting feels very crisp and effortless.

His page is not working right now (I was in contact with him around Hurricane Sandy and he was hit pretty bad so probably associated with power outage).

I got the Stainless Steel Sphere with Bead Blasting (gives it Satin Finish) and added shift pattern engraving. He added the letters at no extra cost. Total was $135. AWESOME customer service. I had chosen certain font that I provided to him to install. Well, he could not install it and he called me on my phone to ask if it was ok to use another font EXTREMELY similar.

ANY other vendor could have just used the other font and call it a day (it was that close). But he went out of his way to please a customer. He is at the top of the list on my book!

Edit: http://lathewerks.com/shop/product_i...roducts_id=261

That's the one I got.

Not bad if I do say! I love how clean the shift knob looks, like it's made for the interior since it matches so well! I'll send him an email soon and see what we can work up. Thanks!

You welcome. It does compliment the silver trim pieces of the car extremely well!
