Default Need help finding a vendor to make a custom shift knob...

Hi all.

I'm looking for a vender that can create a custom weighted/countersunk round shift knob.

Standard silver or brushed aluminum finish, but my customization goals are with the engraving. I want a 6spd pattern on top in black, with an S2000 logo just below it (still on top in red)

And a custom message, (personalized) around the sides of the ball, also in black.

Surprisingly, having a tough time to find someone that can do it.

Does anyone know of a good online/s2ki vendor that can create this?

Thanks in advance!

Would probably be easier to buy a moddication counter sunk knob and have someone else do the engraving? Should be a simple job for anyone vs having to have someone make the knob then engrave it.

lathewerks sounds like a good solution i'll try them out... thanks for the suggestions fellas. shop flossy came up in google and looked at them quite a bit but didn't seem like they had metal options. mostly colored plastic? could be wrong but will look further into them.

Thanks agan! any other options greatly appreciated!

He will CNC whatever you ask him, and Doug is a pleasure to deal with.
