Aftermarket Knobs

Im after a new knob.

Something like this would be tops.

http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82879

Above one only costs $US32.

Anyone got any URLS or places to get a decent one.

just be aware that the majority or aftermarket ones (unless made specifically for a make) are the ones that attach with hex nuts, and not with the threaded shaft of the OE one

yeah but many come with a few diffrent sized rubber shims too. my gearknob (although the hex nut variety) screws on tight with the rubber shim. i dont even use the hexes

my razo is just like the stock one. it's hard plastic that you just screw on. simple. it has 3 internal diameter sizes you can use (ours is 10mm) and two hieghts (naturally i went the low one)

i had the momo evo-16 knob and now i got the razo
why
because the momo one doesn't stay in the place, the 3 hex screws doesn't do their job properly
so i will suggest that you get an razo screw on type, don't get those momo type
i got mine for $150 and it doesn't last for half a year!!!!!!!

dont you find it a bit funny that you boys are all talking about knobs (yes steph is back in action!) it has been a while sorry to all for being so distant. i have a razo and i have had no problems with it also. this is in the silvia. the momo looks better in my opinon but as well all know everyone has different styles.

we're all fussy about our knobs - we have to be confortable when holding them
