AFAIK these are no longer being produced for Gen4's.
Black Gen4 SI Drive knobs are available on Import Monster for around $150 landed via EMS.
I can check if that's the best possible price.
Otherwise some of us have contacts in J. :wink:

I'll be buying one, preferably black for Gen4 , sometime in the future, for the right price, so keep me in mind if you stumble across a good deal.
Under $100 is my tipping point.
I reckon Nasioc, LGT, IWSTI etc. are the best places to look.
I've had great results buying on those forums, my Prova 6mt shift ball arrived today via NASIOC. :mrgreen:
Otherwise we could get something similar made here, no problem!

My rule is to be positive and polite, but especially to be patient and not greedy - so I think I'll wait and see...
Going rate for S/H in the USA is around $60...
Thanks for the tip :D

Anyone know an aluminium machinest? I'm sure 20 custom units would be cheap as chips with the right contact. Aluminium costs less than no name toothpaste.

Yes: cruisin has a contact at his work...
Mark can also get stuff anodized.

Otherwise WC Latheworks (alloy, Ti , stainless) in the USA might be willing - they already do them in STi size.

Me too but custom would be in the spirit of the mighty PROVA.

Yes of course we could get something awesome laser etched or engraved. e.g.:
cruisin
ballerGT
HOVA

I would also be keen on a custom one, even better if it can sort of fit in with the dials on the McIntosh... Perhaps something like SPEC B engraved in the top in the same font as the rear badges?

Definately keen on a chode, cos then you'd have a knob on a knob! Nothing better than two knobs :shock:

Spec b sounds good though. Could look OEM if done well.

I'd vote for the Subaru stars or a "S#" in dope font. So the TBSTI & GT (got sports mode?) boys can get in on the action.
