    Default Custom Turbology shift knobs from WC Lathe Werks

    Good Afternoon Guys,

    I've been wanting to do some branding for my blog, so I sent Chris at WC Lathe Werks an email to see if he could help. Let me first say that I have no affiliation with his business other than being a satisfied customer. Tell him I sent you!

    Lathewerks.com - WC Lathe Werks - Home of the customizable, hand-crafted shift knob!

    Chris makes custom shift knobs by hand on his equipment. He has a variety of metals and Delrin in several colors, which I chose for my knobs.He is also able to laser-engrave most any design into the knobs and add color to the negative space. Best of all, they are brass-threaded specific to their application, in this case, two STI knobs and one EVO knob.

    Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results, and I strongly recommend his work. These things are fantastic, and a wonderful addition to any shop's lineup. Sponsors, these are mega-win!

    Nope, he'll make one or 100. I just got three because we have three race cars in the Czech Republic.

    I just discovered that these knobs are even adjustable as to how the graphic lines up when screwed down fully. Love these!

    If I recall correctly, I believe Subaru and Toyota/Lexus shift knobs have the same thread pitch, so the brass insert for Subarus should work just the same for your IS300.

    He has a standard "ball" style that would be relatively identical to the OE sphere.

    I have two shift knobs from Chris - one for my EVO and one for my STi. Both are 100% flawless. I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone. He also does custom work...I talked to him for a while about making one for my z06, but I never got around to making it happen.
