Not only can you pick something unique that looks good to you, but with a weighted shift knob, your shifter will glide from gear to gear with ease. These shift knobs fit Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota 86, and are easy to install in minutes. We've compiled a list of our favorites below.
Billetworkz makes some of the best quality shift knobs available. Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, they specialize in making billet aluminum shift knobs.
