lemme see your unique shiftknobs
I'm looking to replace my stock MN6 shift ****. I want to stay away from stock looking ones that merely have colored leather.
I'm in FL so heat is a concern too. Please post a link\pic and where to get it.

When I was at Bloomington Gold, I ordered a custom round-ball type shift **** from a vendor. Apart from different diameters and colors, what made them unique is that he would embed any item inside the resin (that would fit of course). You could see the object in the **** even though there was a color (even an opaque color). I should be getting mine within the next few days, as it was shipped Tuesday

Nothing particularly novel, I'm afraid. I had a chromed C5 emblem/logo that I had inserted in a black **** (its actually a hat/lapel pin from which the pin-like prongs are removed). I'll try and post a pic when I get it. But as I said, most anything up to about an inch square can be placed in it - coin, medallion, insignia, etc. The vendor told me he even had one guy who wanted to embed a spider
- a bit out there for me, but whatever floats your boat, I guess....

I have this one that I removed when I installed a C6 shifter and ****.
The previous owner installed it. Not sure who makes it. Is screws onto
the shift **** and if held in place with a set screw. Shoot me a pm if
you're interested.
