Front Page Edit:
So you don't have to read the entire thread, here are some cliff notes.
1. I am currently getting a few prototype or sample knobs made from different people/companies.
2. Shape will most likely be either a round or teardrop shape. MAYBE even both (depending on cost) to fit everyone's preferences.
3. Material will either be stainless steel and/or polymer. Titanium is just too expensive and aluminum just doesn't have enough weight (even with a weighted insert).
Input/feedback is welcomed, in fact encouraged, so that we can get the best of everything with these.

Ok guys & gals. If you haven't heard, I am currently having CB7Tuner.com keychains produced.
It was just coincidental that I reached out to Mike about getting a licensing agreement for producing/selling products around the same time the CB7Tuner.com branded products thread was started. Great timing or fate, who knows...
Anyways, during this process I ran across several leads for custom shift knobs.
I know what sort of shape, material, and designs I like, but that doesn't always translate well into a product that everyone else will enjoy..
After passing this by Mike, I want to see if any sort of consensus can be reach for a custom CB7Tuner.com shift knob.
So right now I'm seeing if a style/shape can be agreed upon (at least a majority) before anything else.
Below are four fairly popular aftermarket styles for knobs.
I am only putting this thread up to discuss the shape/style of shift knob, nothing else!
Not the material, not the weight, not the color, just the shape.
Material, colors, weight, etc. can be discussed later when/IF things progress.
Again, this is all speculative. Getting a jump on these sort of details really helps speed the processes up if things get going. So let me hear you opinions!
EDIT:
I said I wasn't going to ask this right now, but the more I thought about it, the more I think it's also relevant.
What material/feel would you prefer?
1. Aluminum - Lightweight
2. Stainless steel - Heavier weight
3. Titanium - Heavier weight
4. High density polymer - Light to medium weight
5. Other - Specify
