Shift knobs, shift knobs, shift knobs
 

I hope I'm not alone in the universe. I was just wondering if this has happened to you. You get into your car on a hot day, ya know like 104 or so, grab your shiftknob to throw her in reverse and pull your hand back only to find the logo for Prodrive burned into your palm like the headpiece to the Staff of Ra was burned into the hand of that nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. :eek:Now I beseach all in the Impreza universe does anyone out there know of a direct replacement ball type shifter knob that is made of something other then metal. Leather or carbon fiber would be good. :D

i think that Kartboy makes ball type shifters that are plastic, as does Perrin.

LOL..that's why I stuck with the stock knob...too many days shifting with a rag (so as not to get burned) in my old rx-7!

Kartboy's are metal details here:

Put a hat over your knob when you park.

Well thanks for the help guys.

I had this in my RS and altough it's black it's made of leather and didn't get all that hot.:

I have Prova plastic ball type shift knob. Works very good.
I went thru freezing and burning hand by the STi titanium one too.

I think Cusco is plastic and ball type too

Momo makes some really nice leather ones. They are available in a few places that I have seen. THis place comes to mind
