this is the shift knob that i'm thinking of getting. i'm pretty sure that it also comes in red. it's very comfortable.

i bought a black plastic round one in the "help" section of schmucks. looks pretty classy and threads right on. i know it's a standard thread, so i'm gonna take my thread pitch gauge and try to figure it out. i never see any knobs but the stupid ricey neon ones with a 12x1.25 pitch, but i know a standard size matches it.

Could be illegal depending on where you are.
In CA it is illegal to own a defused grenade. I like the idea though... that would be cool

Not really SOL...


APC carries these... actually look pretty nice if you're into the chrome/carbon fiber thing.

i found this at a VW show in Ocean City, MD (H20)
it's one of the cooler shifter's that i've seen in my day. the brass knuckles are on an old school VW Thing.


i also liked this one:



it's on a Toyota Altezza
