I'm trying to update the poll with the new options if any body has any more requests feel free to tell me.

Quick measurements at the flare on the bottom of the factory and TK knobs -
TK = 1.293
Factory = 1.473
Difference of .18 inch or 4.57 mm

It is smaller but it doesn't look too small.

Will any of these be counter sunk to make the shift knob set lower than stock like the TK knob does?

Number 11 looks exactly like my Forged Performance knob. I love the hell out of it.

You and Chuck can have CFE wrap it in leather for you

In the picture i just posted above it doesn't look like the TK is sitting lower than stock, did you just mean if the knob is shorter? Maybe draw a factory knob for comparison?

on that note whats better a tall knob or a short knob? I mean check THESE things out

Gadgetech · 12-05-2013, 04:13 AM

There's a picture comparing the factory and TK knobs somewhere on here and the TK does sit noticeably lower. I'll see if I can find it.

Unless things change the burnt titanium finish is not doable with metal these heavy knobs are made of. A Ti knob would weigh significantly less. All of the knob designs are all over 500grams.

Yea I think oem knob looks best, even if the entire knob is brushed aluminum to match interior I think that would be the best design. You can even call it "the drip" lol since if you flip it upside down it looks like water drip off something.

Do some engraved numbers for gears and that would be perfect. I got $50 for it.haha
