Can you do custom engraving? Maybe something like #RIPOILEATR?

At this time we don't offer custom engravings, if there is a big enough interest we may look into offering that.

Just got my knob and love the weight and feel, but the lettering is an ugly off whitish tan?
Do they all look this bad? That’s not what the pictures looked like to me. Maybe a little gray. (Doesn’t look quite as bad in the photos)

They are all that color, Its because of the laser engraving process. It heats the Delrin up to the point just before melting, in order to etch the logo in.

Is it possible to get just a red shift indicator piece? It doesn’t appear to look as ugly on those.

Loving the new knob! Great feel! Nice silky texture to it. Not too slick. The weight is perfect. None of the hot/cold issues of the stock knob.
Definitely think I’ll be getting your short throw lever. Still just a little tall as is.

This looks awesome. Clearly a lot of thought put into it. I'm a "full-grip" shifter though. I think it'd be cool if you made the same exact knob, but taller so that you can fit your entire hand on it, without touching the boot. Maybe you could keep the upper portion light and the lower portion weighted so that you still get that same low CoG feel that this one gives you. Idk, just a thought!

Manhandling your shifter is a good way to wind up doing a money shift...
