    I will make ano. one clear for you. You can pay me any ole' way you like! MO is fine. I'll tell you when they are ready to ship! Thanks for the reminder too, it's hard to keep track of so many different preferences...

      I am thinking that I will make half of them flat and half round. I will put up a pic when I get it done... again, thanks!

        I'd like one in black, that has a small groove for the shift pattern sticker(emblem). Is that possible?



        That in black with a groove for the shift pattern emblem/sticker thing would be awesome. I'll send you an emblem to help you figure how much of a groove would be needed. Whaddya say?

            He means a circular depression in the top of the shift knob for the stock shift pattern insert to sit in.

              A small hole on the top to add a shift pattern emblem. Like so!



              A small hole to fit one of those pattern sticker things. Whaddya say? As stated by Josh. Also, not as heavy as Dan's too, just the same style...

                What's the status on the knobs? Have they been anodized?

                  They are going to the anodizer TODAY!!! I am delighted to be getting these out the door.
                  Also, I am putting a flat on the top of several of them for the shift pattern stick-on that most of you seem to want. There will be a shift pattern under the sticker too, so you can leave it off if you want. I am not including the sticker- that is up to each of you individually.
                  BTW, DAN: I am giving UPS a call again today to see wtf they did with your package, would you please contact Paypal and try to straighten things out with them? I have not rec'd payment.

                      Would it help if I sent the emblem to you for a perfect fit? I believe there are two different circle styles, I will send you one to help you out on my personal shifter...



                      Yea two different style sizes for the emblem stickers. I'll be sending the one on the right, what seems to be the perfect circle...

                        if you could just measure the circle accurately with a ruler, that would be fine.
                        It will delay all the shifters if I have to wait for this to ship, because they get anodized in a batch.
                        (Also tell me how thick the sticker is.)

                          I'd rather have the shift pattern engraved in mine. I'd like it with a flat top and a more prominent shift pattern engraving than the one which was produced already. Maybe you could make a batch like that (I know there are people that want them like that), and then deal with the people who want them with stickers and shit on the top.

                            i think people need to either man up and buy the UUC knobs if that's what you really want, or cowboy up and decide to buy chris' knob.

                            Just me, as I dont think its fair to make chris jump through any more hoops this late in the game.

                              Ditto. It'd probably be best to make a batch of the black anodized knobs that everyone wants, and then make the people who want unique ones wait until the first batch is done.
                              I'm sure I'm not alone when I say thank you for your effort, Chris.

                                Ya Ditto, Thanks a Ton Chris. He is hooking me up with a shift lever for my m30 swap, I can't wait to get it.
