I ordered a flossy... took 3 months with engraving, then i got in and the engraving was off center and there were 3 large chips in the paint. I have tried to contact them multiple times with no luck. its been 5 months and still no reply from them. I thought they had a nice product but their customer service was horrible, i would never get one from them or recommend anyone buy a flossy

I got a flossy and had a good experience, i ordered one that wouldnt fit because of our reverse lockout and i was contacted later that day informing me and that they would discount the cost to upgrade to the heavyweight that would work. Mine was also engraved and was shipped very quickly and at my door within a week.

Do not order from Flossy. I ordered a plain knob from them on black friday. Flossy said it would be done within a week. After 2 emails, he stopped contact with me and I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back over a month later.

My opinion of shift knobs is that they are good.

I got a TRD one and I really like it. It's much smaller in person than it looks in persons. Just slightly larger than the stock one and about the same weight, but feels good in the hand.

I usually stick with the stock knob. They're usually the most comfortable.

My stock knob was falling apart so I ordered a WC Latheworks oversized ball which I love. I just ordered another WC latheworks piston shaped one because the ball one is a little too big and I want to try a new shape.

Agreed with the TRD. It also maintains appearance with the rest of the interior. This is what I went with.

You need to feel the TRD knob, leaps and bounds over the stock knob. It is hard to describe the concave feeling.

Seconded on avoiding Flossy, their enamel coated ones crack in the heat, and the guy stopped responding to my emails. I decided to keep it as an expensive paperweight/reminder to never buy anything without checking customer services reviews.

Currently rocking a WC Lathe Werks hybrid piston shift knob, love it. Also have a Perrin knob, the thin one, I like to alternate between the two.
