I'm out of moneyz!!!!!

Need to replace my shift knob. I wish I could pull off red. Would love to use the textured knob I have in the S2000 in the 5.0. But it would probably look out of place. Nothing else is red in the interior aside from the gauges at night.

Are you considering adding any more red to the 5.0?

Nah. It's cool, I'm just gonna drop $172 shipped on a freakin' TWM shift knob.

There really aren't any other choices as far as quality weighted shift knobs go.

The unweighted acrylic aftermarket knob I have now managed to develop a crack so I need to replace it. I've been meaning to get a weighted one for a while now anyways.

So the plan is just to get a pearl white TWM in the same style.

In the S2000 I have this one (it looks bright orange because of the sun but it's really a medium-dark red) which is textured and weighted. It feels awesome. They also make it in the ball style like I have on the 5.0.

TWM is the ****, though. Just gets pricey when you option it out (pearl finish, engraved), and they rape you on shipping.

XwChriswX · 03-20-2012, 10:17 PM

The top one looks cool, like a custom etched cue ball.

Guess that's just one of the accepted ghey tendencies of 'Manual' drivers...

...What sort of ball do you want to cup while you drive.

m4a1mustang · 03-20-2012, 10:19 PM

Yeah I like the cueball style, at least on the 5.0, which is why I'm ok with spending

$172

on a replacement.

It's slightly annoyed as this wasn't a planned expense.

If I had money trees preparing two cars for ZDayZ wouldn't be stressing me out.
