i would but i already have a nice volume control knob..hehe

This looks very good I'll take one

Count me in...

Yup, there is, and I'm sure if there were other RX-8 sites you'd probably find it there too. The smart vendors diversify and try to catch every potential buyer, and considering we're 23,000 members to their 2,200 is makes sense you'd see it here too, doesn't it? ;)

Here I did a hack photochop job to give people an idea (with DIY paint job and correct center logo sticker)

btw this knob is really nice...I recommend everyone gets one

So the 3 holes on the edges light up or not?

yes they light up and look sweet :)

Looks great what is the installation like, is it a cover or a shaft type piece similar to the AC controls?

Fair enough!
Correctly yes... The 1st image is the new stick on decal. The following 3 images are the old decal. There were posted to show how the knob looks mounted in place on the radio.
I will photochop those images to have the correct look.

Painting the non Rotor edges does look good too. If you did that to yours... why don't you go ahead and post the materials you used to complete the Job or a link to the DIY?
I have no objections and see no reason for you to delete your post.

To answer RL8's Question:
The Knob has Mylar/Epoxy filled holes and the illumination is the back light from the radio lighting so there is NO WIREING required. The whole install takes less than 5 minutes!

Thanks,
Dan

Pull OEM Stock knob off.
Rotor knob comes with its own "D" ring supplied in bag.
Position Decal on knob.
Place "D" ring in knob shaft recess.
Push new knob on radio pin shaft.
Use steering wheel controls so you don't have to twist the rotor upside down!:)

The only reason I mentioned the other site is because there are almost 25 purchases over there and I am ready to get my knob so I hoped some people would go there to sign up so the first delivery would ship. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Out of fairness to everyone, and if Omicron will Authorize, I will combine the total count for required hits to make the GB go forward. If we do this please do not double post. One post in one or the other.

We will keep the GB's separate for respects sake, but we will manage the numbers internally.
