This Group Buy has been Closed since AUGUST 4, 2007 for the lowest rate. I am continuing to offer them at disounted prices of [$79 STi, $89 WRX] for the next couple days. Products will be shipped via UPS Ground with Insurance immediately after completion. (maybe a couple days since there are a LOT of orders)



For anyone local (Northern NJ) pickup can be made at my place. If you pay cash on pickup, I can offer a small discount as well since Paypal & shipping fees are avoided.

TO ORDER, post in this thread or PM me with the subject "Group Buy", so I can provide my paypal address for you. Once the group buy nears an end, discounted prices will be announced for those participating. All orders will ship out as soon as payment is received in full.

Post up if you have questions, I can add some custom orders to the buy (although pricing may vary depending on design complexity).

They sure are! Heres a pic of the white STi Sphere installed on one of the member's cars (this one has two grooves under, it will be smooth all around unless otherwise requested)





Dukenukem? Should I put you down for one?

[lackskill]

black for me, BTW.

[dukenukem]

Just as soon as i can make up my mind on what piece i want ><

Ok, you're on the list. I see you are from Canada though, so shipping will be extra...
Let me know your preference because USPS is cheapest but you may want insurance.

Hey Chris!

Perfect timing as I was going to PM you about the weighted STi knob! Guess this saves me the trouble, plus crazy GB pricing!

Do you have any size comparisons from the stock knob to the STi sphere? I want a slightly bigger and rounder knob to the stocker, but was curious how the 2.0 inch compares to the stocker.

Anyone know the weight of the factory shift knob?

Well the size of the stock knob can be measured with a set of Calipers for a precise number. Im not sure how wide it is, but I think its around 1.8-1.9" or so.
I can make a larger size up to 2.25" diameter, but anything over 2.0" costs an extra $3.00 because the material costs more. Just add that to the group buy pricing.
If you want to decide on a size, get some playdough and roll it up to a size you find comfortable. Measure that and tell me and I'll make that size for you.

EDIT: All the STi knobs weigh 69 grams.
My solid copolymer STi Sphere weighs 80 grams, and 105 with the brass insert offered here.

This is a Killer DEAL!!!! Bought a Knob from Chris before and the quality is Superb!!! Great person to work with too. HAPPY SHOPPING!

[FritoBandito]

Put me down for the Copolymer STi Sphere WITH BRASS INSERT!

[BoostJunkie]

Hey, this pic looks familiar



I <3 my lathe werks knob

[DCH]

Oh sweetness. I started looking around the house for some round objects that could mock a shift knob, found my favorite stress ball and measured it, it came out to 2.25"...give or take a few millimeters. But it was a bit too soft, so I found a little bouncy ball and it had a similar measurement and was more stable. Mocked it up to my car, figured I'd give that one a shot.

So make that a 2.25" Black STi Sphere with brass insert!

Thanks a lot Chris!
