And if you didn't catch it the first time, that looks sweeeeet!

i think it's about 200g heavier. it's a weight difference you can feel. thanks, yah, the knob looks and feels great.

That knob looks great Ken

I still love my PWJDM knob though. The texture on the knob that matches the other knobs in the car really pulls things together, IMO. Although, Im sure I will switch it out sooner or later. A shift knob is a cheap mod that not only looks good but feels good

I was actually trying to decide on what TWM knob I wanted for quite awhile before the PWJDM knob came out. If I ever go w a short shifter it'll prob be the TWM. Prob pick a knob up at the same time, but thats down the road.

thanks, mr.alchemy. yah, the pwjdm knob is great for the price, i think. i forget how much i paid for the pwjdm (70?), but i think the biggie type-r is atleast 2x the price....so it better be good.

the only issue i had with the pwjdm knob is the round spherical top. it tends to slip out of my hand when going 2nd gear especially when i need to make very quick gear changes like in the middle of a spin out. i never had that kind of issue on the twm type-r knob on my G. if the pwjdm was considerably larger i think the sphere would be a non-issue since i had no issue shifting a ball knob by momo back in my MINI days.

pwjdm never restocked the red base for their knob so I never ordered from them

Say, I'm assuming that's the Satin one Ken?

no this is the stainless one. satin is too yellow for the z's interior imho. i use satin in my G which has that more yellowish-wamer colored titanium paint trims.

satin is a perfect match in my G.

It looks perfect. More muted than the online version, IMO. That's the one I'd get.

Interested in first driving impression.
