Yessum. After Rick discontinued the Ti knob awhile ago, no one was able to get one from him. Rick said the group buy for the 20 knobs would not happen again after. I'm just stating history, not that there's any butthurtness to this 2nd GB.

rick, what are my odds of getting a pistol grip?
If you can get 20 people to express a serious interest, we can do a titanium pistol grip GB. There was never much demand for them when we had them in stock 3 or 4 years ago.

Anything much over $120 is beyond my impulse buy reflex. How many need to buy before the price comes down? What's the current cound?Also is an engraved shift pattern included or does it get the price to 200?

Engraving the shift knob will put you at 200$ Otherwise you can just get it without the engraving for 160$. I would like to do this but I have to be responsible temporarily and pay my credit card..

The price is based on the raw metal cost. We are lucky to have them available at this price. Last year at this time, the price would have been 250+.

How about an oem style knob, just heavier? I like the Leather trim on oem knob.
