How do I do this on my Auto shift knob

DocMike · #1 09-26-2007, 01:29 PM

I just got a carbon fiber interior and I need to do something with my Auto shift knob with wood insert. There is an Ac Schnitzer, knob for $250 plus shipping which might be a better option than paying $500 and waiting 2 months to have a custom job done on the shift knob, so i don't know.

I know if they custom do my shift know it will look nice, but that is a lot of money IMHO

Sharp. Where did you get the interior (if you don't mind my asking)?

DocMike: I have been kicking around the thought or a CF interior for awhile, and I was just wondering where did you order yours from.......

What website are you referring to? AC Schnitzer sells the shift knob in Carbon Fiber, so does Hartge. The thread was about my shift knob and how I can make it Carbon Fiber to match the Carbon Fiber Trim I purchaed

.
I sent you a pm yesterday, no website, no more units remain as I bought the last kit.

Only option is Tom G. at EAS (www.europeanautosource.com) and to buy a second set of trim to be re-wrapped which cost around $1500, plus or minus depending on cost of second set of trim, or use your original trim and wait 8 weeks for it to be finished. I don't know about you but I would rather not wait for a trim kit to be done. You can purchase the AC Schnitzer kit for $3000

.

SuaveX5 thank you for the advise on the shift knob, I will give it a shot

All you have to do is pull it up, but try not to put lots of pressure on one area, try distributing it! And if you need more info pm me you Number and I’ll explain it in more details way.
