If this is a concern, you should check out TWM Performance. This video may help you make a decision.

shift knobs are one of my favorite car parts all around.. MODS can we get a sticky for this thread?! i'd love to see what everyone's got..

i rock the tommy kaira hebi bebi shift knob. a bit pricier than the nismo knobs, but man. so worth it.

hebi bebi!

at one point i also wanted one of the rare arc titanium neo chro knobs.

blox racing also makes some pretty sick knobs that are actually pretty affordable:

for the guys who like the zele knob, this could be a passable substitute:

or

i waited a long time for a brushed neo blox 490, but they were so backordered i never got one. once i got the z, i decided a round knob doesn't look as good in our cars. plus, the hebi bebi is the knob to end all knobs.

I just swapped out my shift knob - for the second time!!!
This time I put on a Stainless TWM M1 Abrams knob.
Heavy sucker - about 460 grams!!

Zele Titanium, replaced my Hebi Bebi. Hebi Bebi is to palm shifters as this is to grip shifters.

This is a great thread. i wish there were more non metal shift knob options such as jdm pw's.

i like the look of so many metal ones, but dont wanna fry my hand in the summer

Does anyone know of any more non metal shift knobs?

i loved me nismo titanium shift knob. its all about what style u want and how you wanna grab it. i was grabbing onto to mine like it was a joystick. i know some prefer balls instead.

DarkZide · 12-02-2011, 12:32 PM

I've yet to see anything that makes me want to remove the stock shift knob. Even on my 01 GT i just removed the OEM one and added an OEM 05 GT knob.

team voodoo pearl shift knob with zeetoys shift boot collar. the voodoo pearl has a clear coat finish over the metal so it matches the silver color on the interior a little better than bare metal. looks almost factory

I like your setups....I went through a couple variations and figured I'd post a couple pic's. First I colored in the number pattern on the stock knob then I moved on to the gun metal knob and finally found the red and black combo. The folks at Redline Goods were easy to work with and I had my custom boot within 8 days after placing order. They have a great selection.....

Black & Red shift knob - made by sparcousa.com, model: Litium SV, Finish is red and black perforated leather.

I'll have to look into the Sparco knobs a little further. The shape looks decent but I have a feeling that the weight isn't going to be what I'm looking for (300 - 400+ grams).

I've found similar knobs made by Momo and Razo and most of them clock in between 100 - 200 grams. At that weight I'd rather stick with the stock knob.
