I really like that blue with silver letters. A silver coyote on the side would be killer!

Blue looks nice, and that font, I have on mine I really like it. They can make it anyway you want it. Get it done the way you want from the get go as it is powder coated... Billetworkz with the MGW is really nice.

Wait really? If they did the velocity engraving with a black coyote on the side that would be awesome but 2 time powdercoat could get a bit wonky no? Also I'm stuck again between tall teardrop or sphere. I keep trying to see how I shift to see if one would have a benefit and I do miss shift with the spehere since the OEM knob is more like 2/3 of a sphere. Lightbulb could also work nice. Read online tall teardrop has a better feel but I have no experience otger than the OEM knob to compare it to

I did a short teardrop at first on the stock shifter with the collar, It was too small for my big hands. Then I went with a tall teardrop on my MGW and it is perfect to me. I do have big hands and it fits my hands very. As for the color, blue with silver would look great, basically the aluminum shining through when they engrave it out. That's what I was getting at.

I do have a question, I'm looking at maybe one of the bullet works knobs but I cant find the one I want on your site and when I look at the others I don't see anything specified but if I go to billetworks own site they say I need reverse lockout adapters and all this extra stuff. The knobs on steeds don't say that. So do I need extra stuff if I have an mgw (no pull up collar for reverse, my reverse is push down not pull up). Or do I need a reverse collar/lockout/whatever they call it?
The information we receive is directly from the manufacturer - they may not have given us the updated info, details at the point of adding it to our site, etc. - we always rely on the manufacturer & if they have that additional info, I would feel more safe going with their feedback/website write-up.

I went with the SpeedForm GT350 style knob. I believe I bought from American Muscle. I like the taller knob and sportier look. The shape and vinyl material feel good. I wish it was heavier but besides that I’m happy with it.

Unfortunately Americans muscle is permantly off my order from list. Ordered a ton of stuff from them and then my ordered started getting autocancelled, contacted support and they claim I have an open dispute with them. Contacted my bank and my bank confirmed 0 open or any disputes with that site have ever occured. My address/bank/name/up is banned even if I change name address cards etc it'll still get canceled. American muscle refuses to help me resolve it and just keep saying close the dispute to fix it but there is no dispute and I even had my bank call them directly to confirm that fact and Americans muscle didn't do a damn thing to help and they still haven't fixed the issue. So yeah I'll never order from them again nor recommend them to anyone purely based off the nightmare.

I run the shift knob from a Bullit with the Steeda Tri-axe. I like how simple and clean it is. Also, it has good weight and feels nice while shifting.

Only issue I have with the mgw/stock knob is it sits a tad low for me. Hoping for something a bit taller like a lightbulb but I find my hand sometimes slips/doesn't grip enough and I'll miss 5th and oh boy the car hates me when I'm at 8000 rpm maxing out redline and instead of shifting to 5th I drop into 3rd and the rpms SCREAM. Hoping more surface area on the side of say a tall teardrop let me get better purchase

I agree, my short teardrop had "shrinkage issues" on my MGW shifter. It fit the stock shifter perfect :). I quickly upgraded to the Tall Teardrop and LOVE it... It was white too, I really dig the orange with the orange accents on my Mach 1 :)

I found the cosmic colors and then got bummed out when I saw it was gt350 only. I think I'm going to go for a blue one and then add some blue accents like the zeta composites radio overlay but with blue flake.forges carbon fiber. I love the way it looks (noo one makes a vinyl version sadly). Not sure I'll ever get the full dash kit since the radio alone is like 110$ before shipping and the entire dash kit is like 520$ dash only no additional stuff but damn it looks sweet. Gunna have to save up for it

I like MGW's cue ball shifter, myself. Perfect size, feels right and is not too heavy as to dull all the feel from the transmission
