Angry Because I'm tired of hearing how my shifter looks like a buttplug...
I made this today while the CNC machine was warming up:



Slightly less buttplug-y. Now STFU, ok guys?

I LOVE your car but these are two ugly shift knobs. IMHO. I know you're playing around but try one of these, many satisfied customers.

Unfortunately, I don't have CF trim. If it looks like a dark grey wood, would that be the Bird's Eye Maple? I looked at the invoice sheet and the specific trim details aren't listed.

You probably have black maple wood.

Hey Josh, when will you start selling machined shift knobs?
