Hi Guys,

We have received a great deal of requests from members for our new M1 Abrams RL with the 6 speed pattern engraved. I reported in another thread that we were running tests last month, and I am very pleased to announce that we have finished testing and the finished product looks amazing!

Check out these pics:







We are fairly low on stock right now so we have a limited number of these shift knobs available. Right now we only have 12 that we will be engraving. The available finishes are pictured below:



Please note that the engraving has to be done before the satin or black finishes are applied so the engraving will also be the same color as the shift knob. For example, a Gun Metal shift knob with engraving will have black engraving.

We have had requests for colored engraving as well, however we are not able to offer this at this time since it would make managing our inventory very difficult. If you would like to paint the engraving yourself, it should be fairly straight forward since the engraving is pretty deep...

If you would like a Gun metal or Flat black finish, there will be about a 2 week delay since they need to be sent away for the finishing process. The satin and stainless finishes will be ready to ship early next week.

The M1 Abrams RL normally retails for $99.95, plus $25 for engraving, and $13.95 for UPS ground shipping for a total of $138.90.

For this initial group buy we are offering them engraved for $125 shipped with UPS ground anywhere in Canada or the USA, in the finish of your choice. Please note that residents of Canada will need to add 5% GST, and 7.5% QST if you are in Quebec. Since the majority of our customers are in the US, there would be no additional tax to pay.

As I mentioned previously, we will be able to begin shipping them early next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

Please PM or post any questions here, I'll do my best to answer ASAP.

Please post in this thread if you would like one, post your username and what finish you would like

Weekend bump

We have designed a clever way to align the engraving as well which does not add any height to the shift knob, so it sits flush with the top of the reverse lock.

Hi Guys,

We just got the satin knobs back from our supplier, check it out:



This is the finish I have in my car right now, the engraving looks awesome and it matches the shifter surround perfectly

The satin and stainless steel engraved shift knobs are ready to ship, the gun metal and flat black will be a couple more weeks. We're shipping orders as we receive payments.

Thanks,

Do you have a picture of the Gun Metal shift knob with the engraving? I had the same color Classic in my S2000 and the color was great.

Hi everyone,

Great news, we received the flat black and gunmetal M1 Abrams RL with engraved shift pattern from the finisher this morning! I took some quick pictures in Kevin's (dirty) STi to show you both finishes, I must say they look very nice in the car!

Here is the flat black finish:






And the gunmetal finish:






Please note that the gunmetal finish is available in very limited quantity for now, we had some local STi owners who were waiting for this finish. We will have another batch ready in the coming weeks.

Feel free to call us toll free at 1-877-655-0540 if you have any questions or if you want to order on the phone.

Have a great weekend,

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your orders

We're very low on the gun metal and flat black finishes. We only have 1 more gun metal available in addition to the one that sold today, it is supposed to arrive on Monday from our finishing supplier. We have a couple more flat black knobs as well. The rest in stock are satin and stainless, but if you would like a flat black or gun metal and we sell out we'll be sending more for black/gun metal finishing as needed.

Have a great weekend guys!
