Default Shift Knob...

What shift knob are you guys rocking?

I'm thinking of replacing my OEM leather one and I have few in mind.

- Voodoo Pearl Aluminum
- ARC Ti
- T1R T182R Ti

I know that I can get the latter two from Speedstar, but is there any distributor for the Voodoo one?

I tried Rick's site and was quote almost 50% of the shiftknob price for shipping to Canada.

don't get an Alum. knob. it leave a nasty mark on you palm kind of like when you handle copper pipes. go for a Ti.

Hmm...really? I don't want that.

Any 2" or more Ti knob in GTA that's like less than 2 bills? Preferably less than 1.5 bill will do.

ya i did www.ricks2k.com
his customer service is really good
you'll be satisfied

i think total came out to $45 cdn shipped or so? might've been a small sale going on. either ways, i'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with this knob. i found it sketchy at first while browsing the page but i recalled rioja or someone saying this knob was good. mine still looks brand new despite 2+ yrs of usage

i like this way more then the spoon ti knob that one of my friends gave me

also, i didn't get any engravings or anything extra on the knob. i figure i already know where 1-6 & r is and don't need a reminder lol

the knob looks really clean and sleek, the pictures don't do it justice

I just checked rick's site and it's USD$45 for the knob and USD$20 for shipping. Not too thrill about the shipping cost plus I'm not sure if I'm gonna get dutied thru Custom.

Ya, I don't care about the engraving either as I hate to align it straight.

Any pic of yours in the car?
