Carbon Fiber shift knob

Frank and I have been using these for a little while and we decided to order some here in house for the EVO guys.

now this will not normally bolt on to an evo but we re-tap it to work with a mitsubishi shifter stalk.

The nice thing about this knob is that is raises the shift knob closer to the steering wheel. In road racing thats a big plus.

Its real carbon fiber and a slightly bigger diameter then the stock knob

The price is $54.95 and we only have a couple in stock but a bunch more on order.

I personally LOVE mine. Here are some pictures on my EVO IX:

I borrowed Eric's this past Sunday at the drag strip in my Galant. With the knob up higher I no longer had issues getting into second, didn't miss it the rest of the day.

Driving today I noticed that the carbon fiber knob actually translates drivetrain vibrations from the shifter. I didn't feel this with my metal knob, definitely can feel which gears are more beat compared to others.

I bought one the minute the doors opened here on Monday and am very happy with it.
