My dads got one in his 1964 Chevy Nova SS. Stock. Try finding an old one. It is got all the smooth cracks all over. Real Vintage...

Try getting a voodoo knob...they're aluminum though, not white. I have one in my car and I like it a lot. A lot of miata guys use them.

If that razo logo is on there with the cheap paint i think it has, just go at it with some rubbing alcohol. i did that with some of those cup holders that connect to your vents. They had some lame "Type - R Racing" logo painted on them. I just used some rubbing alcohol and a few cotton balls and it came off no problem.

pignosecoupe · 07-15-2005, 04:50 PM

It looks like the logo is an inlayed plastic circle. So if he wouldn't be able to remove the logo without a round indentation on the top of his shift knob. Would look odd...

theicecreamdan · 07-15-2005, 05:27 PM

paint over it

**mrmephistopheles** · 07-15-2005, 06:01 PM

PM S14DB. I think he has one.

Carson · 07-15-2005, 06:54 PM

Guys GReddy makes one that's roughtly $15 if I remember correctly.

DriftDragon28 · 07-15-2005, 07:22 PM

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-15-2005, 08:15 PM

Get a cue ball, and drill it yourself Phrozen has one.

Mervyn · 07-15-2005, 08:20 PM

just paint over it..

chmercer · 07-15-2005, 09:13 PM

cheap shift knobs suck, they weigh like .01 oz, makes it annoying to shift. imho.

sw20>>s14 · 07-16-2005, 08:52 AM

ebay fake b&m shifter kits come with them, chrome though...also, as mentioned above, greddy/trust makes one that has an optional sticker...but as mentioned above, its rediculously light = boo

neilsan · 07-16-2005, 09:03 AM

steal a q-ball from a pool table & tap it

The GP sports adjustable knob is the same size too I think... I'll put them up for sale soon.

mixxamike · 07-16-2005, 01:27 PM

voodoos dont come in a complete sphere, they have a neck.

btw, this si not my car

i just recently bought this one from razo, its the razo ra25, and it weighs 340 grams. i prefer it more than my signal knob, i prefer it a little more to the greddy dreidel knob, and prefer it WAY more than stock.

its only like 30 bucks, its heavy, its a shiny hyperblack gunmeta lcolor, and best of all its a complete sphere, which you really cannot find in an import thread pitc hand depth, 30 bucks, you wont regret it

phrozen · 07-17-2005, 11:18 AM

buy a cueball cost 6 bucks. Drill it and get a tap. Nice weight and looks great. theres pics of it in my car floating aroudn this forum

24D · 07-17-2005, 02:18 PM

Don't mean to jack a thread but can anybody tell me what size tap and dye I would need to fit the stock threads on a shifter. Thanks

***S14DB*** · 07-17-2005, 02:41 PM
