Chrisd Shift knobs....

[Rob]

Just recieved my black shift knob from Chrisd out on the wrong coast, and it is awesome. The finish is great, machining is very clean and precise. The hole for the shaft is a perfect fit, with no play even w/o tightening the set screw. It's fairly short, and goes great with my tall(ish) z3 1.9 lever. Very comfortable in the palm of the hand. The black looks great too. If I could find my damn allen key set, I'd get it on there tight.

here's a few quick pics, i'll post more and in car pics after my 4pm class

dammit, its too dark outside to take good in car pics, but here's one anyway




Huge :up: to Chris for making these for us, the best shift knob around for the money, by a long shot.

Looks fucking badass! That thing is going to sit so low with my z4 lever! I can't wait! Brown truck, where the hell you be!?

They're made from solid aluminum on a CNC lathe. Then they were anodized black.

mine's better :twisted:

2lb. unfinished steel with round top and shift pattern, couldny be happier, good work chris :up:

[KenC]

Just got mine installed! It feels wonderful, and is probably twice as heavy as the stock knob. It also sits much lower than the stock knob.

Wow, looks badass! Great pics Ken!

Can't wait to put mine in with my Z4 2.5 SSK and Rob's shift boot!

You lucky sons of guns, wish I even had a shift knob at all :-P

Hey Ken, what seats are those and where's your head unit?

[NC325iC]

just personal preference

They're from an e36 318is, and I sold my deck. I'm getting a clarion dxz745mp soon.

Whoa, Dan, check this out:



That was my car about a year ago. Same wheel (well, mine was stock) and HU (I sold it since). Your pic kinda threw me off.

[DanGillan]

whoa, that is similar, except your metric cluster and full obc and 2 door ness and tall as shifter, threw me off for a sec too, i thought it was an old pic of my interior at first, good eye...
