Rock shifter

My sister asked if I wanted something from rocknob so I looked over and it was between the 9 ball, 8 ball or this. I chose this as its very different. Once I install it I will take a few more pics. Its got a good weight and feel but I am sure it will be different once installed. If I like it I will keep it and if not I will put back on the factory nob.

I dont know, its a rock so its doubtful. If it doesn't go with the interior I may very well order an 8 or 9 ball. They have reasonable prices. What ever the case I want to see how it looks once installed.

Got it installed. I need a solution to close that hole of the leather. Maybe like a circle type thing that sandwiches the leather from the top and the bottom. I think that would clean it up.

Going to give this a try. 10 bucks and should clean everything up nicely. Again, once I drive around for a week or two I will know if I want to keep it or go back to stock.

Reminds me of the knob made of amber on the cane the man from Jurassic Park had.

Yup. Reading is fundamental. This was for a freaking Honda. It is threaded and won’t work. So the search continues.

Isn’t that rock heavier than the stock knob? I would hate to see your 1/4 mi time now. :(
