This is an interest thread for the modified replica knob I have been working on.

This knob is made out of aluminum, the threading is aluminum and the finish is aluminum with the option to have it powder coated black for a small fee. (pic of it powder coated coming soon)


I am also posting this on a couple other mazda forums.

I will need a minimum of 15 people total (minimum of 3 per forum), interested in buying this knob. There will be around 70 shift knobs available for sale.

These will get made some time in April, when I get back from my vacation.

It is just an interest thread, as I am not even making these until sometime in April. If there is enough interest in this knob I will become a forum vendor. I didn't think there would be an issue since this is just an interest thread and I have not posted the exact price of the knobs.

If there is anything I need to change in my post I will do it immediately

I don't know the weight of the actual version since I don't own one.

I haven't weighed my version yet, since I do not own a scale to weigh it on at the moment. I'll try to get the weight up soon.

Will it Have Mazdaspeed Engraved on the Top also or no because it is a replica?

No, I'd probably get sued by Mazda if i did that.
