How much to drill and tap one if I mail it to you? I got a old Joe camel eight ball that I think would look good.

That wouldn't be much. I just need to cover the cost of the fitting and the return shipping and a couple dollars for the time. $10 plus return shipping would cover it.

You said it may do that, so I was prepared. it wasn't much, and I still love the shift knob. It's great quality and smooth to hold. I can't wait for it to cool down a smidge around next march so I can use it for the month we have cool temps here.


The ball is slightly lighter than stock shift knob. I have weights for each somewhere in my car notes, but I'd have to look for those again. jotted them down the night I got home.

The blue one is the 2. I'm keeping that one, the 7 and the cue.
But that doesn't work...man with 3 balls can't walk.

What if I give you one of my own?

I feel the same way up here. I will talk to people on the base here and their like, "it's just a car" So they don't care, so on the road I try and wave and get no feedback. I have never passed anyone with an Arizona 86 sticker!

I've only seen 2 others on the road since I've gotten mine and if the opportunity to wave was there, I would wave.. I love the sense of community with anything...

I have an extra set of billiard balls if the demand for them calls for it.

i had aftermarket apexcone HIDs on my last car. they lasted 3-4 years and were still going strong when i traded the car in.

Well it's my bedtime...if you all haven't figured it out I am up early and foruming it up at 0400 or so. This includes the weekends so if you need a spot to wash, wax, work on your ride then by all means...
