I would definitely prefer it to be heavier but at the end of the day it's a very worthy trade-off for something that looks so damn good yet is so functional. Also...IMO....having used the tommy kaira knob on a 370z and now the one here in this thread...I feel very little difference despite the significant weight difference between the two. The co-polymer feels as solid as a steel knob does.
nice. you mightve convinced me to get a new knob heh. did you get the gunmetal finish? or is it just brushed (cant tell in your pics)

Mine is just a straight black co-polymer knob. The description Chris had me put in the paypal order comments was: 370Z Black Copolymer Piston, Integrated lip, Brass Insert, Knurled, 6MT Engraving (Red)

I would contact him ahead of time if you have any additional questions, also keep in mind the different finishes only apply to the steel if you get one that has steel.

Did he charge you the price of the hybrid knob or the stainless steel knob?

I don't remember the stainless price off hand but mine was considerably less than the hybrid.

Thanks for the reply! I sent them an email asking about it. Hoping to get something similar to your set up.

A shift knob was always a difficult choice for me until I was introduced to the stuff that Chris at Lathe Werks makes....now my searches begin and end in the same place.
