I'm in the market for a new shift knob any recommendations? I really want a weighted one since I seen alot of positive feedback from them and it's better driving supposedly? Many thanks in advance for any input.

It's the "burnt gunmetal" finish. It has a tint of blue to it.

how much did that run u?

About $135. $99 is base; you have options you can add such as finish, grooves, custom etching on the top, etc. You can also pay an extra $5 to get priority 3-day production turn-around.

I didn't measure, but it seems like quite a bit. More than an inch, I think. Yeah, stock shifter.

Anyway, you can get them at http://www.lathewerks.com/. The guy is Chris Mattessich. He's very quick to respond.

Honestly, I'd say it feels slightly shorter, but I wouldn't say it feels like an actual short shifter. But then I put it on almost immediately after buying the car, and I was coming from an actual short shifter. I also wanted a slightly, darker, grayer hue, but it's grown on me.
 
i know it's not as short as a real short shifter. I really dont want it that short though. i do however was it a little shorter and lower then what it is now. this might be a good compromise.

can he do a regular gun metal finish? i love the knob but i'm not so sure about a blue tint

Unfortunately, his gunmetal finish has a slight blue to it. Not sure why. It's pretty slight, but it still might bug you; don't know.
 
Where is everyone getting their carbon mugen shift knobs? I'm scared if I purchase one it won't be genuine and legit. Also what's the price people are spending on em? Many thanks in advance for your input.
 
I've got 2 new shift knobs on the way. A red metal ball style which will be here this week, and a custom momo leather black with red stiching that ill have to wait a bit for.

Bunch for sale on eBay. They are knockoffs, but they reportedly look/feel great.

Here are some links to some well-known weighted metal shift knobs:

I think the carbon-fiber mugen ones are lighter. The weighted metal ones are listed as 460-465 grams which is like a pound, they look and feel great when you're driving around. I have a M1 from TWM and I like it a lot, but I want to buy one from lathewerks later this summer, just because they have a cool bluish tint option and they're a bit cheaper than TWM's
