Glass shift knobs...
 

Juts found this while surfing. Though I would share it. I like them, but they would have to be FREEZING on a cold morning. LOL


GLASS SHIFT KNOBS

RE: Glass shift knobs...
 

I like them, I don't think they would be any colder than a metal one in the morning though.

I wouldn't like that... Ineed some grip like leather or atleast some texture. Looks cool tho.

Looks cool, but I'm afraid it might break off when I shift.

nothing like trying to shift into 4th gear with shards of glass in your hand [:@]

dito my skunk2 shifter is freaking FREEZING!!!!!!! i have a microfiber towel over it with a rubber band on it now ;) its to cold otherwise to drive!!!!


they look interesting..... BUT i dont think id rock one.... i dont like seeing the threads on the insides.....

RE: Glass shift knobs...
 

I think i will stick with metal or leather myself

Coefficient of thermal conductivity:

leather<glass<1<stainless steel<20<titanium<25<aluminum<260

meaning the one that'll be least cold to the touch is leather, then glass, then stainless, then titanium, then aluminum... granted, the metal ones will warm up faster than the glass or leather.

though obviously breakage factor of glass is much higher than any of the above

either way... pretty nifty

They're not glass, they're plastic...

"translucent and optically clear plastics are our specialty"

"glass-like appearance"


I don't like being able to see the threading in the knob, either.

I think the best part about those things is teh FAQ page...


**Edit: It's hard to concentrate with all this talk of polishing my knob.:D
