great service... he answered my emails right after i sent them and even included me in the NASIOC group discount. the shift knob is 465 grams and is made of solid stainless steel. custom made and only touched by the maker himself. its kind of expensive but im happy with how it turned out. also it looks like its sitting kind of high but i think i just didnt tighten it all the way. either way it still sits lower than the stock shift knob. shifting is so much smoother now compared to shifting before. it pretty much locks itself into place.

Oh that's true dude. I have one of these on my 98 Jetta Vr6 Turbo and it gets hot as hell and cold as hell. Here in Socal it's either HOT or COLD and in the morning when I used to drive my jetta to work I used to turn the heater on and point the vents at it because it was way to cold. And when I would get outta work it was way to hot. If I had a 6 MT I would go with the Razo RA96 .It looks good though. Did you get burnt style? Or is it just the pictures.

lol thanks and thanks again for the advice. it even came with a warning saying that the knob can become extremely hot in warm weather haha. you cant really tell by the pictures but it actually is gunmetal. i was thinking about getting the same one you have phenom but this one weighs a little bit more and plus i got a discount from the owner.

Yeah out here in AZ that would be a pain. I work at the dealership and when I hop into a z or a g when it's 110 out and at least 130 in the car that little gear diagram on top will burn the hell out of you hand. G's are the worst cause they have a metal trim on the door pannel wich gets your elbows. It's alway an eye opening experiance burning your hand and the your elbow right after. Seatblets too, AZ sucks.

it must be really hot over there right now. i remember driving through az in the summer a couple times when i was younger and the heat was unbearable. i burned my hand the other day and it was only like 90 outside. i did forget to put on my sunshade though. now i just put a small towel over the knob when im not driving. its still hot but not hot enough to burn my hand.

Yeah out here people bring their car in for service and they have hot pads, oven mits and even winter gloves covering their shift knobs. They always ask us to put em back after we wash it.
