New Billet Aluminum Shift Knobs
Whats Up people!
I've been working on a couple designs and I've come up with this for a set of knobs for the gear shifter and transfer case shifter. most of the ones I've seen I wasn't a big fan of, so here's mine. Here's the specs
- 7075-T6 Billet Aluminum
- Anodize Type II - Black (or not, IDK what y'all want)
- Red TRD inlay
Cost is going to be $100 for the gear shifter, and $50 for the transfer case shifter, and that's if enough people buy it
I'm currently 3D printing some test parts, and I'll let you know about changes. but look at the pictures, and let me know your thoughts!

I wonder if you will have copyrite issues with the TRD logo? I was thinking AJT Designs stopped making a key fob with the TRD logo for something related to copywrite. I like look, but would be concerned about keeping the nooks and crannies clean (as compared to a solid billet piece).

Agreed. AJT doesn’t use the TRD logo anymore because of not having the rights to it. The look is SUPER cool IMO, but the first thing I thought of was damn that’s gonna be hard to keep clean with all the dirt and dust. If she were a mall queen then this might make sense. For me it doesn’t, BUT I LOVE your design.

I like art.
I'd most likely be in for a gear selector once I see it installed.
I have the knob for the T-Case in the Limited so no dice there.
Toyota = 
Black or dark graphite (almost black) will be fine.
Whatcha lookin' at for lead time?

Love the look but as stated all the open crevices would be a ***** 
maybe design with cavities instead of open space
Wishing you great luck nice look

3-4 weeks for machining parts, 1 week for anodizing, and 1 week for post processing/shipping prep. so 5-6 weeks once the order is in

I was thinking about that too, but I kinda wanted the skeletonized look for see through. Maybe I'll look into that later on!

I'll probably do a kickstarter for this, just for buyer protection. don't want to screw anyone. also tundra guys might want one too. I just have to gauge interest

OP, Just curious, does the shop you are using have titanium?
If so, what would the price be for say Grade 5 of the same design?

Ahhh, but those obsessed with LED's/lights can wire some up in OP's design.
