Default Voodoo shift knob

Does anyone have a Voodoo shift knob?
Some of the guys seem to rave about them

I've got one, and what is so good about it over the stock one? Firstly, it's round ... Meaning it's much easier to shift than oval or a stick type of gear knob. Secondly, it's countersunk so it sinks much deeper into the thread and thus fits snug perfectly much lower than the OEM gear knob giving you a slightly shorter shift distance. More like a flick of a wrist, not that you can't do it with the OEM gear knob but once you get used to it ... The titanium voodoo gear knob does blend very well into the interior of the S2K.

I didn't order direct but my Secretary did, it was a welcome gift for the car when I got it from Japan off the hands of government suckers and road worthy drivable. Anyway, yes dealing with them direct isn't a problem (Bob Kreuger, is a great help) but I'm aware that that Voodoo Titanium Gear Knob which is what you want isn't cheap. The image above is what you want, on the other hand I don't like the spun pearl on the image below or whatsoever, besides the weight of the titanium one is perfect ... Heavy, classic finish looking and looks OEM.

Thanks Takashi

I don't think it looks as good as the Standard knob but it looks like it shortens the shift a fair bit.
