Default Interesting alternative shift knob

http://www.fortune-auto.net/apps/webstore/...cts/show/370400
I just happened to come across this today and it looks pretty much identical to the ARC knob that retails at around 230. The link i provided was to their sale which supposedly ended on the 15th of Jan but the paypal is still there and still allows you to pay. Seems like a good alternative to the ARC.




On a side note, http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/produc...27&cat=0&page=1 Is that fishy? I've never heard of them and the price is a lot lower then I've seen anywhere else.

Those look really good. I wonder if they are solid or hollow. T1R has a similar knob at a similar price.

I have one of the fortune ones in my car. The guy that sells him is local and I also had a set of their coilovers on my wrx.

The quality is very good.
I Like the knob much better than the factory one. He actually sells them in either the brushed finish or polished finish.
One of the other guys local here has the polished on his s2k and he likes it a lot as well.

Weight of the knob is very close to stock. and I would say it sits about an inch lower. It really is perfect if you ask me. side by side they look identical to the arc ones.

thats true if you buy the satin finish. The mirror finish ARC knob is 230 on evasive i think.
