Take this Acuity 6 speed shift knob for example, its $75.00.

Skunk2 is $59.99.

I bought one off Amazon for $20, I don’t feel like I missed out on anything by not taking a $60-80 shift knob.

Because good, firm, thick knobs are rare

I need a replacement walnut shift knob in order to bring my interior back to stock. New OEM ones are $200, and all the used ones on Ebay are cracked. Until I find a solution, I’m stuck with a yucky textured rubber one that cheapens the whole interior.

knob prices are crazy. I used to have Monsterknobs (sadly out of business) knob in my Miata and WRX. It was $25. I wanted the same kind of knob for my FiST - $75! It has a reverse lockout thing, which means I can’t just use any knob unfortunately, but c’mon :)

Look up the price for a HSV GTO shift knob with blue stitching, and get back to me about prices. 75 bucks would be unheard of for a HSV one.

machined AL can be expensive.
