Absolutely! Great taste!~
Yeah Vivid said they have like 7-9 scheduled to come in early august.

I currently have the black Nismo knob which feels good to grip but I always go to palm so I wanted to try something different.

So for a guy who typically instinctively uses a palm grip and doesn't have giant manhands or sausage fingers what would be the best recommendation out of these choices?

TWM type R
TWM big type R
GrafiXpressions Fat Boy (vendor posted previously in this thread)

I can't decide!!

LOL thanks I'll add it to the list as the comedy option.

You know, I GISed for pics of funny shift knobs and couldn't find anything more ridiculous except for one which I am NOT going to post here.

i can only imagine what u found lol.

but to add to your list of awesome shift knobs, u should throw the team voodoo pearl in there

I ended up going with the Fat Boy. The Voodoo was very tempting given the price, but this wasn't too bad either, at least compared to the TWM. Just installed earlier today. I also reused the rubber finisher from the Nismo knob. I didn't try removing the Nismo finisher so I'm not sure if it would look better with or without it. I think it looks good, and it definitely feels NICE. I haven't actually driven with it yet (rain rain rain rain) but am looking forward to it!

ive owned lots of knobs and tried them over the years on many different cars, but i keep coming back to type-r and desert eagle style knobs for ergonomics. if youre getting the type-r style knob for your z, definitely get the big type-r knob.

i must have overlooked, but is there a link to who sells these?

My mistake. I thought you were looking for the PWJDM knobs.

Is this what you're looking for?

I think TWMperformance makes some super clean shift knobs ... and multiple color options.
