Hey,
Sizes between 2.1-2.25" size is an extra $3.00 due to larger material required.

Grooves are an extra $5.00 because it takes another setup to do the grooving after making the knob round. Grooves can be added any place around the circumference of the sphere, in any combination of size and quantity. I can do deep wide grooves (about the width of 2 pennies), or narrow shallow grooves (about thickness of a dime). They help to increase grip when grooves are placed around the bottom half of the knob, and is best when the top of the knob is left smooth for your palm to rest comfortably.

Final price: $87.00 USD shipped for a 2.25" grooved copolymer Evo knob. That is for the 5 or 6 speed, in black color. (purchased through EvoBrakes.)

just got my black 5sp knob. at first i wasnt sure about it, but when i installed it i loved it. matches the interior very well. its larger and heavier than the blue aluminum knob that came with my evo.
by the way, crazy fast turnaround time. i ordered mine 3 or 4 days ago

edit: having driven a decent amount now, i love it. maybe its a reach, but i feel like my shifts are smoother. my girl even noticed it when she drove

How do they hold up after time? I'd like to see a pic of a well used one. I really like how the black ones look with the Evo interior. But if I'm going to drop $80 on a shift knob, I want to make sure it stays looking good for a good amount of time.

Copolymer does not really wear out. Its not a metal so it doesnt oxidize like aluminum, doesnt rust like steel, and doesnt corrode. It will not really change color unless you put caustic chemicals on it, and even then it is pretty resistant to change. A friend of mine even dropped one on a concrete floor and there was no damage to it (BUT DON'T TRY THIS!) It can still be scratched, just like anything else so be careful with sharp objects around it like wrenches or screwdrivers when working near it in the car. I don't have a pic of one right now, but I have used a copolymer knob in my own car for the past year and it looks the same as when I first made it. That was about 15,000 miles of driving.

Typical cleaning can be done using a dab of acetone on a rag, which will wipe off any grime or grease that may buildup if you don't wash your hands often I use acetone to clean them before shipping to remove any machining oil and it works just fine. Also, the black does not fade in the sunlight.

I know this will induce chuckles from some of your 13 year old minds, but I'd be interested in a taller, cylinder-shape one. Like more of a rally-type to reduce the distance from steering wheel to shifter. Maybe like 4"x1.5"?

I do not know the stock knob weight, but mine weighs 105 grams.

I have none of those pics right now, but picture the knob sitting down flush with the top of the boot for a clean look.
