[daonly1around]

interesting... is your car red?

[hectik1]

interesting... is your car red?No...but goes well with all the red stitching, etc.:cool:

[Kain]

Goes well with your cig lighter...













... and not in a good way.

[CHIEFSMS3]

(notcool)

Not feeling it.

Its your car though not mine.

[daonly1around]

maybe you should shortin the shifter

[mckraut]

Perhaps no one told you that this is an import and not a hot rod. :-)

[CHIEFSMS3]

Perhaps no one told you that this is an import and not a hot rod. :-)

Should have got the matching skull knob that would be hot rod style.

[hectik1]

I knew most wouldn't like it/understand. This car to me is a new school hot rod. Wanted something different, and I didn't like ANY of the shift knobs out there. The fact the 3 ball was red, and it does match the red stitching, etc better than it shows in the pics.

It has some weight to it, fits good in the palm of my hand, and sits at a better height when cruising. I like it even thought most may not.

[Mid_Life_Crisis]

I love it.

[bjjer]

I dont like the stock shift knob but have yet to find a suitable replacement. So I suffer in silence.

[08cosmic3]

Like a sore thumb.

I want a replacement for the e-brake handle, maybe something in black carbon fiber.

[mrjoshyman]

hmmm I'll be honest thats not really my thing, but if ur happy w/ it that's all that matters....

[controlo]

hmmm I'll be honest thats not really my thing, but if ur happy w/ it that's all that matters....

+1

i like that it's round but i don't like the whole pool ball thing.

it's obviously what you like though. don't change it! :)

[hectik1]

Thanks for the comments.

[kneedragger241]

I think it's clever. Red and a 3 ball.
I wouldn't put it on mine cuz it's not my style, but I can still appreciate it.

[jbiird317]

ive seen this a lot on jeeps, good execution, but not really my style

[nate0123]

get a protege5 leather knob, that's what I put in my 6 (and my protege before that)

love it

the "3" is sorta clever as a one-liner, but the knob doesn't really fit well with the interior IMO

[mikespeed3]

i love it, sorry but im getting one now :P haha red speed 3, red 3 pool ball....

amazing!

[Nismothecat]

looks good to me.

[jeff4880]

Where did you get the cig lighter?

[BluMicaR]

I love it; hehe, I want one too!

[phillyb]

I think it's clever. Red and a 3 ball.

this is how i feel as well.
red speed 3, red 3 pool ball....

amazing!

incredibly clever

Where did you get the cig lighter?

try autozone

[hectik1]

Thanks for the comments.

The skull came from Autozone. It normally lights up, but mine burned out a while ago.

[mdavis]

interesting.....

thats all that counts, props....i dont think it looks bad, youll prolly get some comments from unsuspecting passengers haha

[lowpro35]

awesome idea.....maybe a closer photo of the red stitching on the boot and the knob would help make or break it....but from those photos the stitching looks a little darker and less vibrant than the ball. maybe when the ball gets dirty it will look a little closer to the color of the stitching? def one off.

[hectik1]

Apparently it looks better in person. Some people who saw it liked it.(peep)

[justanothermp5]

should have got an 8 ball
wouldnt have stuck out so much

but prob makes shifting easier, and its more comfortable in ur hand huh?

[Ghost Rider]

I have mixed emotions about this (uhm)

[MS3 GT]

i was gonna buy this knob at ebay, but i end up gettin the RAZO knob, personally chrome RAZO knob it match the stock ms3 pedals.!!!looks a lot better!!!!

[jville]

i like the idea maybe something more like this would be my style.

[iredremix]

this is nice man. try adding a short shifter and ur good

[Rotus]

I like it.

Hey you have the same MP3 player I have. I have a Zune also, but I use the Sansa for my Spiral Frog stuff since that won't sync with the Zune.

[mckraut]

I think part of the problem is that the knob itself is a completely different shade of red than the stitching. I see what you were trying to go for here, but because of the mismatch, it doesn't work for me.

[hectik1]

On the list already.(thumb)

[hectik1]

I like it.

Hey you have the same MP3 player I have. I have a Zune also, but I use the Sansa for my Spiral Frog stuff since that won't sync with the Zune.I love this MP3 player. No issues and it is small enough to stick in your pocket.

Have you tried Spiral Frog? Free and legit DRM WMFs. Just won't work for Zune or iPod.

[cable43]

i'm not a hater but.... shit man... that is just odd looking

but hell, if you dig it that's all that maters

play on playa

you need one of these to go with it though:

[camrycev6]

Different... Do you play a lot of pool? I am not personally digging it... but I guess if you owned your own cue and did some serious shooting, I could understand it.

Wow, thats totally hideous.

[john blutarski]

I don't like it.

[brunoxmatoss]

3 things wrong in this picture.

1-hideous red shift knob.

2-ugly, tacky, ricer, FUGLY pep boys light up skull on the cigarette lighter

3- stupid metal "military tag" with the cross on it =/


you have a nice car! if your going to "personalize it" do so with things that BELONG on the car. not with things that belong on a poster in your room.

1. Not everyone likes the knob....most that see in person do...oh well.
2. The skull is off the car.
3. It is a cross, different, but a cross... because I am a CHRISTIAN!(stfu)

Haha....I must have failed. I personalized my $22k MS3. I forgot, we are driving BMWs!(bowdown)

Its his car. He can do whatever he wants, some choose to hang a cross on their rear view, while other choose to have their hot gf half naked as ahood ornament. To each his own. (drinks)

[strytnyne]

lol..wow...that thing just looks really tacky. sticks out like a sore thumb

[hectik1]

Well it certainly gets attention...so I may have succeeded.(inout)

i like it. i had a 7 ball in my rx-7. don't listen to the haters, pool balls make nice weighted shift knobs. i am amazed as to how many judgmental folk pollute threads and poo poo on people's parades.

he asked for opinions?

just because its not what he wants to hear doesnt mean its not an opinion? (ricer)


anyways. shit im gna have to agree, although i think its hideous and a disgrace to ms3 owners everywhere.....

its your car, do what you like bro. (usa)

[brunoxmatoss]

LOL @ digrace to MS3 owners! It really isn't that serious.

so i tend to exaggerate just a bit.(ghey)

but in all honesty. its really tacky. just 1 ugly thing that stands out on a ncie car can totally ruin it. for example....

if i put a streetglow sticker ANYWHERE on my car, inside or out, it will be a disgrace...


there are 3 items. each one worst than the next (blarf)

[Captain KRM P5]

he asked for opinions?

just because its not what he wants to hear doesnt mean its not an opinion?

opinions are perfectly valid, but there comes a point where criticism transcends the point of being unwarranted and insulting. thats where i have an issue. saying you don't like it is totally different than some of the other things being said.

Didnt you say you got tossed from another forum for being like this? Cruelty is not a freind of honesty.

[jbiird317]

opinions are like assholes, everyones got one

and on this forum, lets just say there are plenty of "opinions" :D

[hectik1]

[brunoxmatoss]

ohh no, someone said something mean on the internet. how messed up.

everyone has their opinions?
so i said it looks horrible, big deal, whenever i post threads asking for opinions, i expect people to be just as honest with me about the items i put in my car..


if i put a parkbench on my trunk, and people lie and pretend to like it. ill keep it on thinking im cool, while everyone laughs behind my back.. if everyones honest and say it looks horrible... well then ill LEARN something, and wont humiliate myself.



besides. it is HIS car, HIS taste, and HIS image. let him do what he wants, but ill continue to judge car taste the way i do.

im sorry if it came off as a bit too harsh.. i didnt think it would sound so insulting.

and i got "banned" from the other forum because the mods went nazi and started banning ALOT of people for reasons that didnt make sense. they started disabling avatars and signatures, locking threads, and being EXTREMELY unreasonable. as a result, alot of members "including myself" started makign threads asking the mods to chill, because they were making it extremely difficult to enjoy the forums. As a result, any members that posted on one of those threads are skiing on thin ice. i made 2 harsh posts on 2 threads (while i was drunk) and BOOM... i crossed the line? that forum became a bunch of lame arguing and bickering, most of the senior members/people with high post counts have stopped logging in, been banned, or have something against the mods "new nazi standards".

[dandydaniel]

bruno, i understand that you are just expressing your opinion, but the way you wrote everything out, it didn't come off as an opinion but instead a blatant insult to cookim6. everyone should be allowed to express their opinions but there are much better ways of doing so other then the way you did.

[phillyb]

why is "including myself" in quotes?
"skiing on thin ice" is a mixed metaphor

[mazdaspeedster3]

Sorry to hear your last forum has gone down the drain. Hope you can keep an even keel here. Enjoy!

[Kain]

This thread needs three heaping scoops of innanets for all this seriousness.

[SwampAss]

I have a giant neutical for a shift nob. It's not weighty and my dog passes out when I shift into 3rd hard.

[brunoxmatoss]

sorry mr.english teacher,
But this is a forum. a form of escapism where i can practice my right to be lazy when I type.


when i write a college essay, i use proper english. But when im on a forum, i type how i speak in person.

(friday)

[cable43]

skating....skating

[jbiird317]

But when im on a forum, i type how i speak in person.

thats why i'z be talkin' how i am now, holmes... cuz i be so hood im too good for that proper english bullshit

[spdrcr456]

What. You don't ski on ice? You should try it. Its exhilarating. I have seen the shift ball in person. Eww. Ricer.

Lol. It feels good. Looks pretty good. A white q ball would have been better. But if you knew cookim and his style. That fits.

[nate0123]

I've skied on ice before... then on my hands on ice. I was expecting my hands to get messed up but they were fine.

[phillyb]

ir t3h speaks lyke this irl...
and refer to the internet as "oti" or "on the internet" for those who are not up on my acronyms...

[brunoxmatoss]

(stfu)

fine ill stop with the crazy punctuation, but only after he changes his shift knob.


hahaha!

[sunny4201]

does changing your knob make the shifts feel smoother/ better

[brunoxmatoss]

does changing your knob make the shifts feel smoother/ better

It depends on the knob really.
usually, the heavier the knob the smoother/faster the shift.

Thats why people often buy 2lb shift knobs to improve their shifting.

[Jon MS3]

(hump)i like it. i had a 7 ball in my rx-7. don't listen to the haters, pool balls make nice weighted shift knobs. i am amazed as to how many judgmental folk pollute threads and poo poo on people's parades.

numbered pool balls are light, only about 160g standard. thats lighter than the stock knob. (hump)

[dsm918]

(puke)

[hectik1]

(hump)

numbered pool balls are light, only about 160g standard. thats lighter than the stock knob. (hump)Exactly what I wanted!

wouldn't the cue ball be heavier?

[navyagspeed3]

I think it should definitely get some points for the "pun" factor. Kudos man!

[FrequentFlyer]

Phat knob!

[pat_smith1969]

OP, I really like the knob. I have been looking for a good alternative and thought of getting an 8 Ball (I think the black would be good), I just haven't made up my mind yet. I had an 8 ball knob on my 280zx back in the day and LOVED it. I used to play a LOT of pool back in the day.


Did you make that knob or get it from somewhere?
