Which Auto shift knob looks better?

Hey guys, I recently did a gated shifter conversion on my car and I am looking in the market for a better shift knob.  I have a lexus.  Anyways, I can't decide what to get.  Lemme know what you guys think of the ones I am looking at right now, and also, please add any other suggestions you might have.

I am not sure of the prices, but this is what I think they're going for.  Let me know if you've seen better deals elsewhere.  Thank you

RAZO (about $70):

Lexus LS460 shift knob (around $160, I would probably get the black one since the woodgrain won't match):

Wald International (about $300):

It's a shift knob.......Wald is only good if you have other Wald parts..Razo is well, Razo, LS460 is nice.

What car?

I don't have a vip platform, it'll be going into a SC300.  I am not really in a hurry to get one at the moment, I was about to buy the Fabulous shift knob until I started looking around and found other options.  So now I am trying to see what other cool shift knobs are out there first.  So far, the ones I've posted are the only ones I've seen that suits my taste.

I agree with you on the Wald shift knob though, it would be much better if I had a full Wald kit or something.  I however have the Auto Couture kit and the AC shift knob is way overprice imo.  It's like $675 and it looks really plain:

That looks like an SC430 or Sport Design knob. You can get a deal of like 60-70 for one of those oem knobs.

Yeah I know, I don't know what's so special about the AC knob to make it cost that much.  It looks like an OEM knob with the logo, thats about it.  But yeah, let me know if you see any other nice looking shift knob that would work with a Lexus. :biggthumpup:

Its the name your paying for lol thats why it cost so much

Stock or SC430 shift knob looks fine to me.

ac looks sick and if it's just a logo'd oem i go that way (oem).

wald is 2nd imo.

ls rounding out 3rd.

Well the AC is different from the OEM because it doesn't have the leather on the sides, the AC is all wood.  OEM has leather on the sides.

well then ac would be my choice, although $700 on a shift knob is kinda hard to swallow. taking another look at it the fabo is clean and they have a couple different woods so you might be able to match. i dunno... hard choice i guess.

LS460 applying that it matches your leather.

No. The SC430 knob looks the same. The sport design GS knobs were used from an SC430.

Yeah dude, the SC430 shift knob does look like the Auto Couture one:

What I was talking about was the stock shift knob for my car though, it's different because it has the leather on the side.  It looks just like this:

wow, those look nice.

I like the LS look, and you can't go wrong with factory work.


anybody have a link for shift knobs for Y33's?

The AC one is the best.  It looks just like my stock F50 shift knob

Those "Lexis" or whatever T handle shift knobs are pretty baller. They are like a luxury hurst shifter.

Or get a axe handle shift knob thats what I had on my 2 door cherokee it was billy-badass.

Or just use the "shift handle" my buddy rocked in his truck for a while:

[i]"Dude that's not a shift knob, thats a bong."[/i]
But it's not illegal.
[i]"Maybe not, but its retarded."[/i]
But its not illegal man.
[i]"You fuckin stoner."[/i]
Dude i'm not a stoner, i'm a marijuana enthusiast.

[quote=widebody_Q;215797]The AC one is the best.  It looks just like my stock F50 shift knob[/quote]
LOL i was gonna chime in and say uhm just get an f50 one and get a AC sticker made :smiley-rofl: nah in all realness id have to say the AC one is stupid. the logo isnt very classy looking like the wald one. only thing i like is how its all wood n chrome.


just get a simple all wood one. and by the way..since yours looks so much like the ls460 why bother? is it damaged? if not id just keep it for now n put your money on something else..imho.

oh upon further review i recommend the grazio co ones. those look fly. oem baller lookin. if i disliked mine, id jump on one of their all wood or their ls600 line.
