Would you buy a Sickspeed shift knob?

Would you buy a Sickspeed shift ****?
Alright guys, I have been talking back and forth with the people at Sickspeed.com about getting us some shift **** options besides the expensive TWM or the expensive TRD. I am afraid they may not come through because they worry about how many they will sell. Although, their ***** will work with our reverse lock, if you get the adapter they make; which looks to add about 3/4 of an inch to the shifter.
Here is the link to their site:

They look to have great color/design options!
So my question is, if they make a **** without the adapter and works on our cars, who may be interested?
I am going to send them a link to this thread too, so lets get some feedback and possibly another mod option for us.

Do you have the adapter? See, I am trying to talk them into doing the extra step of hollowing the underside out so that it does sit flush.

Very cool. I have some pics of a **** from them with the adapter, but it's not on a tC so hard to compare; that is why I did not even post it. Please put your pics up so we can see it. It is appreciated.

That is perfect. Exactly what I thought it would look like without the adapter. If you had the adapter, it would cover the spring, but still increases the overall height which I think most people would try to avoid. I am obviously not a shift **** craftsman, but I would not imagine it would be that hard to make the **** work without the added height and adapter.
That is ultimately what I am trying to do with this thread: show sickspeed that if they build it; we will come...
So please! If you agree with me that you would be interested; say so!

This being said I would love to buy one with a recess so it would sit flush. Currently I'm looking at the twm hybrid **** but the price is really to much for a ****.

Exactly! I have the short shifter as well, so my spring would hang out too, but not like yours does....what is going on there? But I think people with stock shifters would not be able to use the reverse lock at all, with the current way Sickspeed ***** are set up. The stock reverse lock is HUGE, and the adapter does not look that big.

I may have to restart this threas to change the name and get more people to look at it. I can't imagine that myself and tbasmnsports are the only ones that want more **** options...
Fun173, sorry to ignore you. I have no idea if it will work with an auto. Try contacting them directly. They are very helpful.
Lastly, and I cant believe I forgot to metion this, Sickspeed is an American company which is very important to me. I know, I am a hypocrite for buying a Japanese car, but it is what I like the best...I looked at domestics too!

Any comments on the quality of the one you have? I have not seen thier handy work in person, but the pictures look great.

nice weight to it and fits very comfortably into my hand has a gloss black finish and thread it perfect got it off ebay a while back and only issue is that the stock reverse lever wont lift without an adapter

Yup. Hopefully with the info I just sent them they could "hollow" out the extra room needed to fit the reverse lock. Just need more people to say they would want one if it was done.
