Just got this shift knob and think it's a nice piece, so thought I'd share. It's billet aluminum anodized black. It's similar to the original, but obviously not for those of you needing an original type knob. Only thing I would of done different is put the set screws on the back side so they wouldn't be noticed when installed. Overall, very pleased for $69 shipped.

Got it from an Ebay seller, but if you contact him he'll sell for the same price outside of Ebay as well... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Billet-Alum...emZ360090460767 |

I have installed one of these in our car. It is made by Accutronix. It is a very nice piece and I much prefer the set screws to the stock crush washer system. It should be noted that it is noticeably heavier than a stock shift knob, which some people may like and some may despise. I didn't really care because I'm usually not in a hurry to shift, but in a AX situation I could see someone finding it annoying.

I dont want any thieves to get a free pass on finding reverse up to the left to get the car up my semi steep driveway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Jim |

I just noticed that Performance Products is selling a good looking reproduction. Looks good on paper anyway.
