Move my Greddy knob from the black car into the bronze as I prefer it to the stock one.

 

I'm sure they would sell if you made them and kept the price competitive...as I'm sure MVP still stock the Greddy for under $50

I have the first 6 speed gearknob in my hand right now, oh err missus. It is VERY nice, unlike other "universal" items on the market this is shaped like the original Toyota leather gearknob so feels nice in your hand, made out of aircraft spec billet aluminium, pictures will follow very soon.

How does this take your fancy? Machined from billet aluminium and made specifically for the Supra 6 speed, not universal.

How much dude, and I can be a real pain and ask the weight :)

Surely it wanted to be slightly heavier than stock?

 

In my experience, lighter gear knobs usually make the gear change in cars worse, not something you want in the inconsistent, and often agricultural feeling change of V160 gearboxes.

I can have it made of lead if you want?
