i got really sick of voodoo knob and decided to get rid of it.
i bought this really heavy cf (fake, i think) / gun metal colored knob by "razo."
install was really easy, and i like the look/ finish of it.
shifting is now not as good as voodoo, but who cares, i think it's still good enough for me.

if its by razo, it should be real carbon fibre. i was wondering if the razo one is counter sunk as well or did your stick go back up to stock height?

If it weighs 400 grams yet looks like carbon fibre it must be fake. That's one heavy shift knob.

MUZ, if im not mistaken, the razo knob just has a carbon fibre sleeve that slides onto the shaft of the knob. i wish i had a digi camera so i could show you. i think its real carbon fiber, atleast thats what i was told when i bought it ...

I think this is it:



It comes in 200g, 300g, or 400g. Very interesting, but you can't really tell how tall it is from a picture.

actually i just drove back from the gym and... i'm kinda scared to say this, but, i like this knob better than voodoo.

you see, voodoo is counter sunk and it does sit in really deep, but, i think it's kinda uncomfortable to grap it and shift. also i hated how i had to grab the voodoo knob from the top, not from the side.

this knob is "kinda" countersunk. it sits in really deep too, yet overall height becomes a little bit taller than stock one. shifting now feels like shifting a real sports car. grab it from the side, really precise, quck enough, and my elbow makes exact 90' angle (comfortable).

okay, i'll go take some pictures now.
