it's shorter

i'm still getting used to the feel of the shift knob tho - it is slightly different than the factory knob.

the factory knob fit perfectly in my palm so shifting was easy.

it's nice

a great mod to consider for all.

hehe, am i the envy of other non acurazine shift knob owners yet hehe

The AT Knob will look very similar. It'll be a little longer though to hide more of the shaft.

That would be a lot of work/time/money but it might look kinda cool. I think the hardest part would be writing the program to place the dimples all over the place and not have any overlapping.

Looks good in the car man...

Dzuy, when you take close up pics like this, use the "macro" button on your digicam, which will allow you to take clear pics of close up objects...

Not much, but the profile is a little different so there's more material at the top. That's probably why it looks thicker.

i think it is a little thicker around the top - where it knob comes up to the round part of the knob.

my knob didn't get hot today when i went to lunch.

that sounds really gross.
