WOW man looking good. Your using CNC to cut the shift pattern correct? Is there a way to cut down the pattern and hollow out the inside enough to stick some leds inside? Sorta like back lighting the numbers and shift pattern, cause that would be pretty hot!

Yes CNC everything. I know people want LEDS inside but I don't plan on doing anything like that soon. I want plug and play installation in less than a minute, not something you have to wire up. Thanks for the idea though.

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

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.

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.

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!!!
