new mitsu shift knob
« on: February 23, 2005, 12:50:51 pm »
I got this quite awhile ago, last summer I think, just haven't got around to posting pics of it yet.  Its alot nicer than my old fake carbon fiber apc one.  Its leather wrapped, has chrome trim, with a clear see through top with a black mitsu symbol inside, its pretty cool.

I got it off ebay, there are TONS of them on there, a single company sells all kinds of shift knobs very veryyyyy cheap.  Its made cheap too though, hence the cheap price.  It looks awesome though.
I think after shipping it was like 25-30 can.  
As for the quality, I haven't had it long enough to give it a good test.  But as for direct fit, this thing definitly wasn't a direct fit on my shifter, it took some f'in around to get it to work.

yea it was really cheap, doesn't look cheap though, feels good.  I hated my shift knob and wanted a cheap replacement.
