So I'm going to have a custom Delrin shift knob made for my car. I've seen some out there but haven't liked the shape. I think a ball shape is the most ergonomic and creates a more comfortable shifting grip. The ball shape does not force the wrist into the vertical position like the hard bar shape does. So the ball shape allows for under-hand, over-hand, along the side, and any other "grip" you like.

My dilemma is what color, black or white. Black looks clean and matches all the other colors inside, and looks stock-like. White "pops" nicely inside and draws attention which is also kinda cool, and it will be literally cooler to the touch on hot days.

Here's a picture of a rapid prototype of the knob I built to try out. And below are pictures of the inside of my car to see what's up.

What color should do?

 

I have a white Delrin but I'm always worried about it getting dirty.

 

go for black, I have a white shift knob in my Z28 and it just seems way out of place with the black interior.

 

If your evo is white do white, but it might get dirty or stained easily.
I love my AMS delrin knob.

 

that looks, like, um, a *****. At least it is ergonomic.

 

yeah, the ***** shape is the most ergonomic. your wrist will feel very comfortable.

 

 

I was going to say a *****, but close enough...

 

Ha yeah atleast your had will be at home on it! lol once you go black you wont go back hahaha

 

^^LMAO!!

 

Good point about the white getting dirty. These shift knob threads always contain large amounts of phallic-ness, it goes with the territory I guess.

 

i have the ams black delrin shift knob with the ams logo in white and i think it looks great

 

If you clean with mr. clean magic eraser, it'll look brand new btw.

 

get white, and put a binary graphic at the bottom of it... extra grip, chicks dig vinyl and they might really like its shape.

 

^^^ Haha, I'm good on chicks, I've got a wife and a 2 year old daughter - I don't need any more!

Delrin is hard to get adhesive to stick too, I think that vinyl wouldn't be too robust.
