If you want to go a cheaper route. Take it to your lock Technology school and get some students to mill them out of metal. That's what I would do if I needed custom metal

this.

We have a sheet metal class at my school, and the teacher encourages us to do whatever we want in there that will provide us with practice. The shop has a lathe that I had to use once to make a bunch of bolt spacers for a nose landing gear actuator.

I'm sure if the instructors at a school near you are nice they'd be happy to try to make something.

Look farther down in the thread on the first page.
There is a site on there to purchase them.

The first knobs posted are metal, the link posted is for plastic TL knobs painted silver.

Yeah I've been too busy with school to check V6p and then this place haha

The knobs were pricey since I only ordered two of them and they were custom. The knobs themselves were cheap ( 6 bucks). But they needed to be machined correctly ( inner and outer diameter) in order to fit the knobs correctly. Final price was like $15-20 each

Like I said custom knobs = $$$

I don't remember where I got them. I graduate May 31st, I might consider doing a group buy = discount.

^that sounds great. Which ones would you get made? The one you have on your car now or the last one in the picture? I would be down if you did get a group buy together.

+1 especially if they are the black ones.

I'd totally fork out $20 for a set of black knobs!
