Tronix Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Ok I'll be the dumb one. What the hell is a shift knob jewel? I am imagining a stick on fake diamond or ruby or something really ghey and 5 year oldish so please tell me I'm just naive. -Tronix(old fart)GT for more pics and info... http://angevine.org/legacy/legacy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I don't think I've seen any that's just by themselves - most of what I've seen are, as you cited in that very pic, pretty much "as a set" that arrives with various knobs. I'd be tempted to go with a vinyl overlay. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcbjr Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 What about some wood? Lol. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b375/RM-RS/-3.jpghttp://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b375/RM-RS/-2.jpg I forgot what I was supposed to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I always liked the Kartboy knuckleball, but didn't like the emblem/jewel. Just wanted a simple 5 speed pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlander Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I always liked the Kartboy knuckleball, but didn't like the emblem/jewel. Just wanted a simple 5 speed pattern. +1 Wanted a shift pattern but it wasn't offered. Shopped around through the Ricer parts with no luck. Of course the other knob I wanted came from the Mercedes AMG coupe. Has a slick flip top that has the 'push to start' switch under it. Figured I could get one for the price of 4 Forged BBS wheels. sorry the pic is huge. http://www.supercarnews.com/images/Mercedes-Benz/McLaren-SLR/Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-SLR-023.jpg Vir Est Fatum Ut Perficio Concepta Suus Progenies. - Man is destined to fulfill the capacity of his lineage (i.e. Darwinism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el3ment Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well, no luck. I emailed Ryan from grafxwerks.com and this was his reply: Sorry Brad, I’m not doing any shifter decals because I’m not confident they will be durable enough to last several years… the shift knob just gets too much use (sweaty palm + decal = bad!).

There's lots of old threads on this - have a search isolated to the "Interior" sub-Forum (using the limiting functions in our search engine), and you'll get plenty of hits. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
