Couldn't find a thread on custom/ after market shifter knobs, perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. So I figured I would start one. I got this knob from my friend months ago and finally drilled it out to fit, it's total old school and I have no idea what it is out of. Enjoy and post up yours!

Jrot, you and Chambers have my vote so far for coolest knob (in as straight a way as that can sound haha)... I kinda wanted to cut a few inches off my 1j's stock cams and drill and thread one end of it. But, I kinda like the Greddy one I have. Thing weighs about 2lbs.
Chambers, where did you find that thing man, early 70's Celica?

Haha thanks, we can only hope!
I actually found it at a car thing in Carlise, PA. A guy had a huge selection of knobs "(in as straight a way as that can sound haha)", and he had that one and a couple other Toyota ones, the black one was the last. It was the display, the guy said there is very little chance they will be made again. Somthing about the manufacture of the emblems went under, so yea, not sure if it was BS, but I scooped it up.
Here is the other:
i dig that old school black one too...its kinda uber retro...that would have been a retro knob when our cars were new...i like the style and it looks great in the car.....

very nice stuff on his page, and pretty damn cheap given the quality of the work. i may have to pick one up
i could always talk to him about a group buy too....i dont know if there would be enough interest or not....and i doubt he would hold us to kind or color...he might just give us a discount if we bought X amount of peices....but either way drop him a line on facebook or email...im sure he would enjoy the compliment....i would haha...
TWM makes some great shift knobs, they are pricey though.
I really like the look of this one

jrot, your cousin make some nice pieces there. Personally if I got anything from there the wolf in top hat is dope and the eyeball is insane! Eyeballs are cool lol, blame my father for me feeling this way, he's had his eyeball painted on his Harley ever since I was a little kid lol
they are crazy sturdy too....he dropped them from sevral stories up and they only slightly chip the paint....price is kinda high but for hand made in the US not to bad...its a cool process...im gonna try to see if he will make a vid of how he does it from sculpting to finish...dont know if he will but it would be cool.....glad you guys dig it though....
