MACHINED SHIFT KNOBS DEFENSE

I am writing this to clear up what you may or may not be thinking about my 
shift knobs.
First of all, they are machined AKA billet aluminum and stainless, not 
molded like the crappy autozone third world built knobs, comparing them to 
those is practically an insult. Machining is a process where the knob is cut 
out of a solid piece of metal yielding a strong and precise product. This 
process is used in everything precise from racing to air and space design.
Second, The Stainless costs more because of the difficulty to machine due to 
the extreme hardness and the much higher cost of stainless stock.
Third, all of my shiftknobs are available in any finish from brushed like 
the cars panels to polished like a mirror.
Fourth, No I did not put the pattern on the top! I feel that they are MUCH 
more classy and refined without them. Let me put it this way, does Ferrari 
and Lamborghini put a pattern on their knobs?(HECK NO) Why? Because in a 
real car you don't need a dummy map for the gears, remember people, this is 
your PRIZED DELOREAN not some city girls Honda Civic. That junky black 
plastic knob belongs in a Yugo
Fifth, Why didn't you put the DMC logo on the top then? Well for one reason 
it would be very costly to do that(remember these are machined, not molded). 
And the biggest reason is, if your car is truly great you don't neet to 
flaunt the name, the car will speak for itself. I feel that putting DMC or 
Delorean all over your car is pointless, those who care about cars already 
know what it is and those who don't, don't. Flaunting the Delorean name only 
degrades the marque in my opinion. Please just let the cars beauty speak for 
itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, Those who have checked out all of my site should have noticed I said 
that I am going to make TASTEFULL parts for the car that I think Giorgetto 
Giugiaro would approve of. If you don't like this, you can always have the 
pattern or the logo put on the knob later.
