It’s likely a textured powder coat. Flossy makes one called the grip tape I think

Edit; yes it is

It's coated with wrinkle paint, and made from billet T6 aluminium. The texture is very similar to the texture on the header cover (the one which says BOXER on it in the engine bay).

Amazon shows 160g but not sure if that includes the packaging. Even though it's out of stock, you could pose the question there and someone who owns one might answer.

I read on a japanese forum that's made of Duracon, and weight is around 100g, 50mm in diameter and 5 mm lower than stock.

Haha, nah, it's just a GMRS radio. It was so that I could communicate with the GF when we were road-tripping to autocross, and also to allow me to listen into radio calls during events, haha.

I had the TRD one, paired with the TRD short shifter, and I didn't like it: too light (105g), a little too wide, and the flat top was not for my grip.
I actually have the new Tom's carbon knob for ZN8/ZN6: perfect.
50 mm diameter, 5 mm lower like the TRD, but full rounded.
180g. It's perfect, the stock one was a little too heavy.

Looks good. I like the radio and peddle dance buttons. I had a CB radio in college I exclusively used for the PA function to be a brat.
