I have for sale, custom one-off round shift knobs. I personally cast these and put the threaded inserts in these. I can make shift knobs that are clear, tinted, swirls, two-tone and I can even embed a personal object in the middle of them.

The shift knobs are 2.725" tall with a ball in diameter of about 2". I can embed items safely up to 1.75" tall x wide. These shift knobs fit very well in the hand and even though they are not weighted they feel very good during shifts. A plus to acrylic is that you won't have a super hot or cold shift knob in the summer/winter.

Currently I have metal inserts for thread pitches M10 x 1.25 and M10 x 1.5. I do plan on increasing thread availability but for most imports those two pitches work very well. I also anticipate on getting glow-in-the-dark pigment to add extra "funk" to shift knobs.

As of right now I have one shift knob immediately for sale. It is threaded for a Civic Si so if someone wants it I could drill and install a different insert for Nissan.

I also have a TRUE four leaf clover that I personally picked that could go quite nicely in a shift knob along with a couple of other little figurines akin to that depicted below available.

Price for these will start at $30 for plain/tinted and will go up from there according to what is done to them (i.e. swirls, glow in the dark, embedding, etc.) . There will be a one week lead time to make these as the process is quite tedious. If interested, please feel free to PM me or text me at 1(802)673-2957. Plese be courteous of time difference. Now for some pictures!

Just saw that you're getting glow in the dark pigment. If you do and could put some in mine after I send the payment that would be sickkkkkkkk. This guy is really cool. Get a knob made custom for a reasonable price! Free bump!

I actually just bought some pigment. Gotta wait for it to be here but when it does ill do a sample piece (not a whole shift) just to show you guys what the results are. :-) And if it works out well it could easily be added to shift knobs. Its just kinda pricey for the pigment. :-(
