I'm very curious to see what I get. I've used a factory, metal RS knob since day-1. Literally. Took it off my RS and installed it on the SE before leaving the lot, so it has a bit of sentimental value and it's not like I'm unhappy with it. Hell, for all I know I'm going to receive something from Pep Boys' closeout shelf.

I'm giving this a shot too. I ordered two different knobs, and was still under $20. If they are crap, i'll use them on my forklift at work lol.

At that price I'd go ahead and just buy it. What's a $10 gamble?

Hey everyone,

Just to let you all know, these shift knobs are NOT our shift knobs! This vendor is NOT TWM Performance and we are NOT affiliated with them! They seem to be using our names and pictures, but I would warn you guys to stay away...I have no idea what you'll receive lol.

If anyone has questions, feel free to shoot us a pm!

Also, just so everyone knows, we're not on Amazon at the moment (we will be in a month about) so anything you see on Amazon for the time being is Fake or a fraudulent listing!

TWM, can you get Amazon to remove them from their site, or are you stuck?

Will you be an Amazon Marketplace seller, or having your products sold by Amazon, LLC?

Just wondering, cuz personally, I've never felt comfortable buying from outside the US due to unknown delays and/or taxes due. But if the item's in-stock and sold by Amazon, LLC I'll buy just about anything.. especially w/their free S&H over $25.

Just my 2-cents, though

I originally posted after receiving a shipping notification with a USPS tracking number. Then, yesterday, I got a cancellation notice followed by a refund.
