Why yes, yes you do. Doesn't a person always say yes to hot rods and beer taps?

You could acetone vapor polish that to make it all shiny if you desire.

I thought about it but I was afraid to mess with it since it had some pretty tight tolerance 3d printed buttons and it was already painted. I ended up leaving it like that the whole time I had the car, and as a plus it was real easy to grip

I see your one, classic, "high-tech" EM knob and raise you two of my ratty amature old school POS knobs:

2014 Candybox, gaming console (pew pew, pew pew):


2020 Skateboard wheel weighted shifter:
[/QUOTE]

And for a bonus here is a youtube guy who makes a 0.8 pound weighted shift knob for cheap:



Mine was infinitely cheaper, and has a better weight.

I know I'm very late, but that's an awesome idea.
