    O.K just an Idea but it sounds dirty! I want to see all of the custom Knobs out there. Maybe I should post on CL but here it goes. 20140816_080616.jpg

    @xluben sold me one of his Anarchy Motive knobs that looks like this guy's knob. Average at BEST..

    I enjoy mine much over the stock shifter. It does what it is supposed to do. I guess I haven't experienced as many shift knobs to rate them from best to worst..

    Here is mine customized by me as well as powder coated. It works fine for my auto but I don't think it would be very practical on a manual as it is quite heavy.

    I enjoy mine too. Shifts like butta. I was being silly in my previous post and trying to hurt Ben's feeling.

    LOL. I was mad for a second there.

    I love the heavyweight Anarchy Motive knobs.

    It's not custom, but I've been running a Legacy GT shift knob for a couple years now. It's heavier than the stock WRX one, not very expensive, leather, and looks pretty classy IMHO since it matches the interior colors/font etc nicely as you might expect. The only thing maybe not to like is that it's somewhat taller than the WRX part, if you're trying to get the short shift effect as much as possible.
    I've actually got a spare one if someone is interested in buying it off of me~~

    How much for the LGT Shifter knob? Sounds like something I'd be interested in doing- my WRX wagon shifter is a bit low for me, but I can't find an extension short enough.

    All 08+ WRX's uses that knob. Should be very easy to find one.

    I have one, but I'm supposed to be trading it....

    None recently, the last was the LAX cruise. My old job didn't allow for me to get to meets ever.

    Well mine isn't custom, but I don't see a lot of them and I happen to really like this one.

    That's what I've been told. Mastercam is what I've grown up on, and for the size of our shop I'm pretty privelaged to even have that, so I guess I can't complain.

    I'm kidding :)

    There's a lot of good programs out there. I was taught Master in school at St. Paul Tech.

    Gibbs is by far the most expensive... Which sucks.

    yeah I was taught x5 and we have x7 here at our shop. I do mostly programming by hand, but with some tricky dimensions our customers want ive found mastercam to be the way to go.
