Pics of your knob.....

ONLY SHIFT KNOB PICS (buncha queers...) :pfawk:
Here is mine...

That's the aluminum knob (part #ra23 148g). I liked it better since it was a darker (almost tinted) shine. The weight of the thing really makes the shift feel more solid. I put the stock one back on when it was real cold (only drawback) and it was WAY too light (also felt like driving an 18 wheeler because of the length)...

If you look real close at my pic, you can see the grommet holding the boot up. It is a 3/8" inside diameter grommet. (see pic below)... It just fits tightly on the shaft and the chrome ring barely fits over it, making it a tight fit that holds it all together.
I will be happy to send one to you, just pm me an addr... They were at home depot though if you can't wait...

Nice...
Like I said in the other post, it is not quite as elegant as the sleeve/pinion method described, but it has its own pluses:
1) It is really fvcking easy to do... No removing/cutting/whatever of the boot.
2) really cheap ($.04).
3) Adjustable. I like to have about 1" of the shaft showing below the knob, and can change it easily to more or less.
4) You can very easily return it to stock (if you were so inclined).
Good luck send me a pic when you get it...

Yeah i love mine. The feel is great to it and it fits perfectly in my hands. Hey no sex jokes here ok. hehe. And i love when my blue lights shine down at them at night. It lights up the silver metallic part of the knob and it looks great.

Shawn,
Is that the Momo "Race Aluminum + Carbon"
http://www.tuneshops.com/order-Auto~...nob-1-1808.htm
or the "Shot Carbon Aluminum Shift Knob"?
http://www.tuneshops.com/order-Auto~...nob-1-5105.htm
I like the look of it.....is it heavy like devnull's Razo? I liked the feel of the weight of his, but wanted something with a different look.

I got mine here: http://www.ltbmotorsport.com/
It’s a few bucks cheaper then the link you provided and it looks like they’re running a FREE SHIPPING deal right now.

Yea, it’s pretty SOLID and it’s got some weight to it unlike the leather covered plastic of the factory knob.

Question for you guys with the Momo knob & boot. How did you get your knob to screw into top of the boot? For the life of me I could not figure out how to do it. As you can see in the pic below, my boot is just resting against the bottom of the knob. What am I doing wrong? An yes, it is quite possible that I'm being an idiot. :o

You need to UNSCREW that silver ring on there. It isn’t used when you have the MOMO boot.
The KNOB will screw right onto the boot then.

If I screw the knob into the boot, it hides the bolts that I need to tighten in order to secure the knob into place. Does that make more sense? It's just that I can't figure out how to tighten the knob if I screw it into the boot. Maybe you guys don't have to tighten those bolts?

You need to tighten those three setscrews and join the knob/boot BEFORE the lower edge of the boot is attached to the console.
After tightening them, you spin the boot around the knob to attach it, then attach the boot to the console.

Damn, this thread makes me want a 6 speed even more...
Today at the dealer the service guy was looking for my car for like 15 minutes (turns out it was parked 20 feet behind me, even tho he told me that it wasn't mine...) and i was secretly hoping it had been lost so i could say "give me a 6 speed and i won't murder you"
