Custom Co-polymer Shift knobs - Made in Jersey by skilled machininsts!!!
In this day and age of CNC machines and CAD software, the properly trained machinist who can create art from raw stock with just simple tools, his hands, and his vision is becoming a rarity.
Chris M, the owner of WC Lathe Werks LLC, understands this, and at the same time has the opportunity to apprentice under his Grandfather's tutelage. His Grandfather is one of these old time machinists who has become so hard to find these days. Under his guidance Chris has started to hand turn some absolutely beautiful shift knobs for your Mitsubishi.
Now, if you're a little bit curious as to the quality and feedback on some of Chris' work please take a couple of moments to check out what others have had to say by clicking here:

Chris can also accept custom orders, but may need extra time complete planning, designing, and machining.
For specific questions, please contact Chris directly at cmattessich@optonline.net
*Please note these are not a stocked part as they are hand made in small batches, usually as they are ordered. Your order will be drop shipped directly from WC Lathe Werks LLC, located in New Jersey. Shipping will be via UPS Ground with Insurance & Tracking automatically provided.
If a part inventory is at 0, turnaround time is anywhere between 1-7 days.

Hey guys,
This is Chris, owner of WC Lathe Werks LLC. I am working with my good friend Ken to bring these shift knobs to the Evo crowd. I have sold 2 of these to Evos so far, one is the white one above. I have sold about 350 HAND-MADE shiftknobs to subaru enthusiasts over the past year though!
I AM NOT A VENDOR ON THIS SITE. All of these knobs will be sold by Ken at EVObrakes. But I will be on this thread to answer and technical and customization questions personally.
If there is interest in aluminum knobs, I can get a set made of those via CNC machine as well. All of the copolymer knobs are hand made by me on my lathe right now.

Thanks for the inquiries guys.
Couple things -
The co-polymer knobs are roughly the same density as AL -so that may give you an idea on weight and feel.
The knobs still get warm and cold - but no where near as bad as AL ones.
I'll run the custom stuff by Chris - we'll certainly get back to you.

I can put grooving into the sides of the knobs, they will be radial grooves that go around the circumference. They can be deep or shallow, wide or narrow, your choice. Ken will update with pricing on that option.
I cannot engrave the shift pattern on the knobs at this time. They will all come clean of any engravings.
