Got my new ****!
Well here it is. I came up with the design and Quality Images (Knobmeister) took care of the rest. I personally love it, but im sure it is not for everyone. You can order them through www.knobmeister.com and I believe they cost around $75. It is not on their website, but you can order it through e-mail with them. I have the magnum ****, but im sure you can get the smaller **** and it would be even cheaper. The shift boot is from Mrgaiter.com and cost $30 shipped.

Yeah just send an e-mail to the contact us link and that goes straight to Joe's (aka The knobmesiter) email. Just tell him you want the "Rotary Powered" **** that was just made for the RX-8.

I have the same **** but plain black. It goes well with the short shifter and has a nice feel to it.

No fear I can engrave YOUR ****!

It's almost better that way ...... you can index it first so there are no
orientation issues!

I'm working with Joe (Knobmeister) on a design to go on a black piano ball. My plate says "ATOMIC 8" so I want some kind of atom with electrons and an "8" in the middle. I'll post pics when it's done. Can't wait.

It seems like it would slip outta my hand, especially on the 1-2 shift.
