What do you guys think of my new shift knob?

To be honest, I love it. It's light weight, it feels great, looks awesome IMO, and is JUST the right size. Any bigger would have been too much. What do you guys think?

No, it's just that we have differences in what we can pull off. It's cute for a girlz ride cause it's like jewlry. I pesonally think it's sexy when girls do stuff like that to there cars. However, if I saw a dude rollin with that in his car he would get laughed at big time. Just my opinion.

Maybe something just a little bit more manly? :wink2:

I'm happy you are a female, cause when I first say this thread earlier today.....I was like.........:wtf:

There's a thread with all kinds of shift knobs in it, I'll see if I can find it for you.
You might want to do a search as well.

The Voodoo Magnum shift knobs are really nice. They look classy and sophisticated yet are much more comfortable than the stock knob. I've gotten numerous compliments on my Pearl Magnum knob.

keep it subtle and elegant, in this case smaller IS better. Maybe a small round metal ball knob, maybe with a Black Chrome or GunMetal finish.

And I like the factory 8 shift knob personally....

LOL he'll have to fight us off ;X that's weird.

i didnt wanna get him one thats metal and small only because the one he has stock in his s2000 is like that already. I was trying to make us match, now that I think about it I guess it WAS a bad idea. I guess i'll have to search a bit then.

AWESOME faded pic DarkBrew. And out of the ones posted, I like the brushed Alum one the most. Matches the ring around the shift boot. But you said this is for an S2000..... sooooo I donno

How about a sticker that says.... my girlfriends car is nicer than mine...

WBRxGreat
11-04-2007, 08:09 PM
lol the shift knob isn't THAT tall... which is why i got the one I did. Most of them were 6+ inches, this one was just over 4 inches and I didn't want it to look like I had a dildo for a shift knob lol.

A foot? geez that's way overkill T_T

If i put that sticker on his car he would find a sticker that says "my boyfriends car is faster than mine" and put it on my 8 :(

The faded shot is by scsi
Even if it was from an S2000 if you think it looks good then so what?
The black looks good in my interior IMO. I like it with the short shifter.

lol, Doesn't he know it's not how fast you are, its how you handle it that counts?

"A dildo for a shift Knob" God I wish my girl drove a stick, cause thats what would greet her in the car before she left for work....... God thats hotttt.

OP's knob definitely looks like a sex toy. Does it vibrate? Is it made of "jelly"?

Should have gone with my gut, women usually post a picture of themselves in the middle. :spank:

You're cute as a bugs ear and your BF is a lucky boy. (This is for the men, OP don't read... You must always compliment women or they will try and kill you in your sleep)


PS Your shift knob is perfect for a female car but I'm afraid of what would happen to me here in the bay area if I put that on my 8.

That's a pretty kinky looking shift knob. Looks like it could use a little lube.

I like.
