Thumbs up 2" Moddiction Titanium Shift Knobs!

These are now IN STOCK for the Brushed an semi polished finishes!

Check them out here!
S2ki Titanium Shift Knob thread



They would be offered in a Brushed finish and possibly polished or semi polished finish as shown below.
I will also be offering them in anodized finishes. Will be a darker blue available. Picture below is anodized but did not come out as supposed to do to the shift knob having a burn done prior to anodizing.



Couple pictures of titanium knobs I have been playing around with.

I'm not sure of the grade or anything yet. It would be full ti though. Yeah it id very hard and more difficult to drill for sure but can be done.

Well not gonna have these for a while still. Just seeing what the interest looks like as these things are very expensive just for the bare metal 2" ball so don't wanna produce a lot of these unless there is some decent interest in them.
If/when I do make them can probably work something out.

If you eventually got these produced I would definitely buy one and occasionally switch it out with the polished one I got from you

What will your price point be for these? My ti knob was quite expensive, but i've never used another like it.

How much would they weigh would be the sticking point. I love the steel one I got from you because of the weight. If you can titanium plate a steel one that would be the best of both worlds I would think.

It would probably be around $90 for it most likely. The only other 2" titanium knob I know of is like double that or more.


As far as the weight I had looked at burning the stainless or coating it or something and was unable to get anything to look good enough that way.
Ti will definitely weight a good bit less than stainless. Probably around the weight of the stock shift knobs.
I won't know for sure until I get a few sample balls to produce these with and then can weigh them.
