yes use the jerkoff hand and twist counter clockwise haha, i went with the ams delrin shift knob, a little bigger then i thought it would be, but hell in 90+ summer heat here in cali, havent burnt my hand once on it...one reason i couldnt get a metal shift knob. good luck, and dont cross thread it

 

i have a blox OG style electric blue shift knob. its basically a type R style with the red etching on it. looks good and i never have a problem with the shift knob burning my hand, the remedy for this... simply keep your car garaged.

 

What about the people who are not retired and have to go to school/work everyday?
Don't forget about those who do not have garages either.

 

I've had the factory (metal) RS knob on my SE since day-1. Literally. I installed it before leaving the lot. In all honesty i don't get the hot in the summer, cold in the winter thing. I mean, the hand only touches the thing for a fraction of a second, or are you guys using the knob as a hand rest?

 

i do work everyday, its called having more then one vehicle. as for people that have to go to school, they need to stick to their bookwork and not worry about shift knobs and evos... and for the people who dont have a garage sorry your less fortunate them myself. also ftw im turning 28 in 2 weeks far from retired...

 

im not retired nor is my car parked in the garage heres what mine looks like.

 

Blox gunmetal here. That thing is heavy, but it takes time to line up the letters properly.

 

yes it is a twist off easy but do it slowly, take your time

 

i honestly think blox makes very good quality shift knobs as well as many different styles. i cant recall how much i paid for my Og style shift knobs but i believe between the 40-60 dollar range.

 

Wheres a good place to pick up one the ARC Ti knobs, or are they discontinued?

 

+1

 

This. Just got my Blox 490LE neo chrome knob, and it feels great. Can't complain for the $48 I paid.

edit: picture time!

 

I have a Greddy counterweight and an ARC burnt Ti, both are weighted knobs. I like the Greddy because it is heavier and sits flush with the shift boot, but that thing gets really hot in the summer and scratches up very easily. I ended up sticking with the ARC, because it looks cleaner and also as a nice weight to it (although not as heavy as the Greddy). If a company made something that was Burnt Ti and weighed as much as the Greddy Counterweight, I would be all over it.

 

So the Evo 9 MR's came with leather shifter knobs? I just bought the car and it has a leather one and I wasn't sure if it was the one from the factory or not.

 

You sure that's the LE? LE is polished/mirror finish. Either that's really smudgy or it looks brushed to me (regular Blox 490).
