What does "little delay" translate to? Days? Weeks?

I have not physically weighed the yet, but they are more than the Skunk2 knobs. Someone posted up, its around if you search.

Anyway, they are weighty knobs and definitely help the shifting.

That's a tough call Marcus, I don't know about jelly beans but I know it's about 29.5 pieces of McDonald's McNuggets or 31.5 pieces of Wendy's chicken nuggets.

472g? Nice. I'll have to hop up on this, and try and determine some way to cover it during the summer so I don't pull an Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on my hand during the warmer months.

Please order online! That will be the best pricing option for you. We'll change it when...well, when it stops making sense!

Ano supposed to be done today or tomorrow.

We have plenty of SS ones on the shelf now.


3 minutes? I think when most guys play with their knobs it takes a tad longer than that! You must really like it!

haha yea. My only complaint is i wish it was a little bigger. It feels a little small in my hand. Anyone else think so? Any way to add 10-15mm to the overall diameter?

No, please do not make this wider. I think that shape is perfect where it's at. It might feel better, but I think it will look waaaay unproportional. It already look big as it is now.

TLdream has big claws. My hands are pretty good size and I can't see this feeling better any bigger. And 10mm more would make this knob over 2" in diameter. Too big! And WAY too heavy!

Got mine in the mail yesterday. AWESOME quality, heavier than I'd have imagined, and this should translate into some better shift feel!

I'd have it installed already but my wifes' car is causing me some major headaches (electrical problems) so that comes first. Happy wife, happy life... right?

Thanks again for the wicked custom part Marcus!

Darryl, I am having a helluva hard time keeping up with you!

I just got the ano knobs today. Taking pics tomorrow. AFTER the preorders ship. Then I have to answer all the messages on the 2G ATLP thread because some people keep asking and asking about tracking over there (elbow hehe, jfwy). Then I have to work on the pic processing distribution.
