Those angel eyes are so bad! I saw an M5 in my rear view one time, and it looked damn sweet. Too bad the new 5 series all come with them. I wish it was just M5 exclusive.

[B]One of our board members (4IGS2000) a little over a year ago was going to make them, but couldn't find enough people to commit to about $100 each. He was going to make them out of titanium and possible some cheaper ones out of aluminim. He got pretty pissied off (with some justification) when lots of people expressed interest, but not enough were willing to shell out when he had the product ready.

So why don't you try and relaunch your product if you already bought the moulds for it? I'm sure some new members and renewed interest could help you recover some of your losses.

That electrodyne knob site says the shipping weight is 5 lbs. Either he houses a small turbine generator in the knob or he is trying to make $$ on the shipping cost.

5 lbs?? Must have weighed it on Jupiter.

That's heavy! Maybe the idea behind it is like the weighted baseball bats players practice with, which means the next time you go to the track and swap in your OEM knob, it'll seem like you're shifting "faster."
