    What do you guys think?



    I can't decide if I like them or not, but they are only $50 for both on eBay. I can't seem to find an (affordable) shift knob and ebrake combo that I like.

        I personally can not stand fat, round shift knobs like that. I'd prefer a longer, stock-like knob - which look better, too.

        But because of the price, I say go for it. If you like that style, you can't really beat $50 for both of those pieces.

          I don't like OEM style knobs too much, and I want a metal knob for sure. This knob looks a UUC knob which is my personal favorite. The color looks greenish but I think its only the pics, they are supposed to have a titanium finish.

          I think it'd look better than aluminum finish stuff now that my interior is getting pretty dark colored.

            Umm, with shipping, that's going to run more like 80 USD.

            I think they look pretty good.-

                Its still cheaper than just a shift knob from UUC.

                  Why do you want a metal one? Do you just like the look of metal, or are you trying to get a bunch of weight so your ssk isn't knotchy? Personally, I don't like metal knobs. I have an alluminum one right now, and it gets hot on hot days, and is really cold in the mornings.

                    I had a metal knob before, its always hot here no matter what so I am used to it.

                    I don't like leather because it just doesn't last in FL. It gets sticky and fades fast.

                      After you make sure they're not green, I say buy them.

                        They look good to me. I think the same company has a ///M deadpedal I kinda want.

                          Eh, they're alright... I'd say spring for the UUC's though. I wasn't an easy decision to bring myself to actually pay that money but it was worth it

                              I like them, but I'd probably find one without a fake ACS logo (of course it really doesn't matter that much). I hate the stock ebrake handle, cheap plastic POS, and I didn't realize how cheap the accordian ebrake boot seemed until I got a car that still had one. :P
