Pretty impressed with the WC Lathe Werks I just installed. Nice heft & finish to it...if anyone's looking for one, they gots my endorsement.

That would be this guy Welcome to WC Lathe Werks -- We Build Truly Unique Shift-Knobs. Proudly Hand-Crafted in The USA! - WC Lathe Werks | Truly Unique Shift-Knobs, Proudly Hand-Crafted in The USA!. Got the stainless steel one, with gunmetal finish. ~$125. Really great feel & finish, and the guy turned it around in a matter of days.

ewwww $125.... ouch. BUT very very nice!

It looks like you have something in that disk drive on your radio? What is that, lol?

dozerdc · 03-01-2012, 06:43 AM

16gb compact flash card.

And yeah, $125 is kinda steep, but decent when compared to the Hebi Bebi or Nismo Titanium (had that one before).

Looks good.

Yeah but it's something you touch every day, so it's worth it to spend on a good one.

Looks nice!

Mine looks pretty similar. It's a TWM Leopard A6. I really like the design

It's pretty inconsistent. Some people just twisted and had no problem. I had to destroy mine to get it off. Had to get a channel lock to hold the shifter still, then wrap a strap wrench around the knob and twist. It didn't budge until the wrench torqued it so hard that it crushed the knob.

It depends on how much Loctite they put on the knob when they built the car.
