Custom shift *****

I've searched all over the forum and threads and I still haven't found the one for me. I've been looking around at shift ***** and I've heard people have and reccomend voodoo, twm performance shift *****, and knobmiester....this is what I'm looking for in my new shift ****:

Threaded, weighted, shift pattern engraved, and other possible engravings on it ( im working on a design for mine...still in the works)


Are there any other companys/brands that would suit me better or should I go with one of the three I mentioned?

Voodoo FTW. Knobmeister is not a brand, he just engraves Voo Doo ***** as far as I know.

What do you mean by weighted? The feel is perfect, I have had mine for years.

The voodoo **** is lighter than the stock 8 **** but sits about 50% lower than stock. It feels fantastic and is pretty cheap compared to some Momo rice crap. It does get a little warm in the hot TX summers but I keep a putter cover to put over it if its unbearable. A small price to pay for perfection.

Going with a Ti **** will combat the heat issue but inflate the price x4. The Rmagic Ti **** is freakin pimp but I'm not dropping $220 on a shifter ****.

this shift **** should match the interior silver finish right?

http://www.knobmeister.com/page14.ph...99&category=1#

btw, this is my current rx8 symbol/emblem design in progress. Im thinking about making a decal for the car maybe and/or maybe get it engraved on the shift **** as well. The one on the left is hand drawn obviously and the right was done on cad. What do you guys think???
