Ive only got 2.0" White material right now, so Ill put you down for one of those. (I only have 2.25" in black)

Shipping to Canada will be an additional $16 if you want insurance on the package. I normally mark the normal value, but you may have to pay import tax on it also. I will mark it "Manufactured in USA" so you should not receive import tax due to our free trade agreement. Specify in your paypal order if you want no insurance and shipping will be a bit cheaper (but any risk is assumed by yourself with this option).

Total amount will be
WITH INSURANCE: $88.00 USD shipped
WITHOUT INSUR: $78.00 USD shipped

Our current exhange rate is 1CAD/.96USD so you're not losing too much in the transfer.

PM me for more info if you need it. My paypal info is listed on page2 by the big red text.

Chris,
I have a few questions.

1. What color is the actual shift knob that will be made? It is noted that it would be black, but in the three pictures, it shows slight variations of colors. The first picture is of the black one, the middle picture (same one you used in your avatar) is of a gunmetal color, and the third picture is of a darker gunmetal but more shiny but surface is not as smooth. Are there any other color variations?

2. You noted that the Acetal Copolymer STi Sphere with brass insert weighs in at 105g, stock STi knob weighs in at 69g, and your WRX weighted shift knob weighs in at 160g. Are the weight for the STi knob the max?

3. In regards to the grooves, do you have any pictures of the ones you made with grooves already, so there could be an idea of the depth of the grooves and how it would look.

I would be interested in the an STi Copolymer Sphere with Brass Insert in the same color as the one you used in your avatar. Interested in the 2.0" but don't know how the larger one would be like, so still debating on the size.

Thanks

1) The color is black. The variations shown are the effect of lighting being different when the pics were taken. The knob could look slightly lighter in direct sunlight because it would reflect some light. Also, the sharpness of the round cutting tool can make a smoother or shinier surface depending on how long ago it was sharpened. The difference is almost not noticeable though.

2) The Copolymer/Brass WRX knobs are 160 grams because the brass insert extends 2.5" inside the knob and the knob is 3" tall. The Copolymer/Brass STi knob only has 1" of brass inside a 1.8" tall knob because the reverse lockout ring is in the way. There isn't a way to add more weight to the piece because I can't make it taller or it would interfere with reverse or sit way to high. 105g is about the maximum for the copolymer material with brass insert.
I do have aluminum STi Sphere knobs the same dimensions which are about 125grams, but the metal will got hot/cold in extreme temps.

3)
Two small grooves underneath (+$3.00) :


Small grooves throughout (3D CAD drawing) (+$5.00):


Deep Grooves throughout (+$5.00):



4) Sizing: Find some playdough and roll up a 2" ball, and then a 2.25" ball and see what size you like best. 2.25" is an extra $3.00 option because of more expensive material. Base price is $72.00 plus any option for grooves or sizing increase.

I am definitely interested in buying a black, STi sphere. Chris, what is the waiting time as of now? And why does it seem that these are going for less on the TiC site??? Different knobs?

Thanks.

Yep, the TiC knobs are solid copolymer. These in the group buy are weighted with brass inside. Gives stronger threads and 25 grams more weight.
Wait time is about 1 week or 10 days. Im working every single day on these but I have a full time job so I'm limited in time. You can send paypal for the type of knob you want and Ill include you on the list.
Please specify your size, color, and type of knob in the paypal though.
PM me if you have questions on price.
