yo dude... just a little info... the audi style knob with an "A" on it would prove to be quite a hot ticket item, afterall honda's use the same thread pitch throughout all of their vehicles... I'd jump on an audi "A" in a hot second, course it wuould have to be weighted

ps. your skills are pretty friggin neat... can you pm me when you get a chance, I need something done it is a custom piece :)

pics coming soon guys of finished m/t knob!

Awesome man! Do you feel a quicker shift with the heavier weight?

I wouldn't go as far to say that it is quicker, but I do appreciate the feel of the additional weight.

You've waited :) Here she is:

Brushed aluminum -- matches the interior perfectly.

A/T coming up next!

amazing work!

does it attain the stock shift knob height? or is it set lower? If not, I think making the thread deeper would not only make it look better, but also give it a better feel when shifting.

I can make it either way :). Right now it sets a hair lower. I love the feel of it!

Been working away on the automatic transmission shift knob.

The people spoke, and I listened!

Yes, this will have powder coated lettering on the top.

I like the m/t knob design better. Simple and smooth.

Can you make this out of Titanium? I love the color of the Arc knobs.

this is badass!!!!! i love it. good work bro:thumbsup: now make this come to reality like the first one:wish:

awesome job!! some good quality stuff :thumbsup: when can i have it :wish:

Could a m/t shift knob have powder coated letters too? If this is for sale I want it, this and a CT short shift kit would be pretty cool

Chris,
Fantastic work my friend! That knob looks awesome I can't wait to see it in person:thumbsup:

You have MAD skillz! I think the A/T knob styled after the M/T knob with black powdercoat letters is BEST! Good job!:thumbsup::toocool::wish:

How can we buy this??? lol just messin with ya bro!!

Im sure you already know that you have amazing skills so I wont repeat it....lol

If you accept suggestions, I think you could take a look on how the OEM M/T is made and add a leather surrounding to that shift knob. The reason I say this, because one of my friend installed a polished knob and it gets DAMN HOT during summer, he has to put a towel over it during the day so he can drive his car after a day at the office.

Besides that, you had a good idea creating this and Im sure you could create a NEED in the acura TL community. People would be so interested in this that you woudnt be able to deleiver ;)

Keep going man!!!

Back from vacation. Will be updating more tomorrow.

Definitely would be interested if this sat as low as possible. The stock one is set way too high.

countersunk with just shift points on mine please :)

Congrats for taking the time to make a product that I'm sure is a winner.

Wow! The shift knob is sweet. Can't wait to see the 5AT version. Can ya say possible vendor?

pics coming soon

:love:

BTW what about people with base model TL?

this is bad ass

+1




haha nice avatar greco!

love the design... especially the clips at the bottom to keep the shift boot in place!

Base TL 5AT, please.
You Type-S guys hog up all the good stuff!

:thumbsup:

REALLY NOW?!

you base guys have the supercharger that is very reliable. and now the turbo kit.

type-s doesnt have that. and please dont bring up that lame project blown type-s thread

Hey I'm base too!

Base A/T guys, would you like just the "TL" in the center?

That would rock!

Pics don't do it justice.

The "type" in the S might look like its a different size on one side than the other. It is not -- it is just an optical illusion due to the flash and is the same exact size and depth across.

wow that looks awesome.. how about TL with Aspec on the bottom?! Since I do not have a type S..

good work!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

DUDE!!!! that looks soo f-ing good! i want it! great work man.

looks hot

That is awesome, that would really set off the interior! I want one!

For you base TL 5AT, how's this?

you should really pm one of the mods and start a production run for these... I'd give up my skunk2 shiftknob for one of these asap

+1:thumbsup:

Wow, you're very talented my friend.

^ yeah, what he said! looks AMAZING!

So I'm working on some things right now... hopefully these will be sold through a vendor on AZine soon. I"ll keep you guys posted.

Base TL guy here. No green---BLUE! As close to the stock dash blue as possible. Please, of course!

The lettering isn't colored. It just shows where my mill would cut the metal.

^^gotcha. Still beautiful, though. Can't wait for that vendor status. "One-Off Mod" I love it!

omg. :yes:

you are so talented with the design work and you actually made the shift knob! Wow. Amazing. I can't wait until you put these into production, everyone is gonna want one! Btw how much does it cost to make one? :thumbsup:

So I installed the 5AT knob on a car this weekend and it is sick!!!

For this operation I use 2 machines.

Haas TM-1 with auto tool changer and 4th axis and not including tooling or tool holders, $35k+

http://www.haascnc.com/prod/pi/TM-2.jpg

Haas SL-10 CNC Lathe not including pneumatic chuck or other upgrades, base price $44,945

http://www.haascnc.com/prod/pi/SL-10.jpg

nice work, its about time someone started looking at making custom shift knobs for our cars.

In reference to the first design. Wow!! looks great!! Be cool if you actually did the engraved areas blue to match the lights of the speedometer.

Blue like the gage lights. Maybe even CF!

This is the machine I had to rent out to mill my keys on:

Using a bridgeport would have been the same price, so why not use the big beefy one that works faster and is a bit more precise :thumbsup:

VF series is great. They are so quick and you can accessorize them to the end - they have a sweet probe system now that automatically sets work offsets, checks tools for wear and breakage, and checks the part when its done. I would love to get a VF-2 SS; it is the high speed machine with faster tool changes and faster rapids.
