Gold shift knob? Bling it on!

Hi Guys,

Check out the new knob we've installed in our 2004 WRX, it's a 24K gold
plated .44 Magnum with stainless steel bolts! We've decided to offer this
knob to the public as well, you can check it out here:
http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftkn...hift-knob.html

What do you guys think?





Of course, the knob is compatible with all of our short shifters at
www.twmperformance.com and we offer less expensive knobs as well.

Kevin

I live in AZ, and I hate metal shift knobs because they burn your hand if you don't place anything over them. I'm using a sock right now...I wouldn't buy another metal shifter.

honestly! why would anyone spend 250 dollars on a shifter knob?!?! use the money for something more useful and beneficial to your car.

Maybe if they're still available when I decide to get married I'll melt it down and turn it into a fancy wedding ring .

It's not THAT bad, I mean if you can afford it, why the hell not?

I personally would not like it on my Cobalt though.
