There has been some talk about shift knobs and such, so I thought I would gauge interest in a very high end hand made knob. I am talking about a piece made by Auto Aesthetics. I have one installed on my TT and it is outstanding. It's almost like sex in my right hand....wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, it has a very nice feel and weight.
I contacted Raffi, the guy that makes them, to see if he could make a version for the Elise. He said to get started he would need some close up interior shots, the thread pattern of the knob and a close up of the shifter. He wants to get a feel for the interior design so he can integrated the knob into the design flow.
Yes, the pieces are expensive. I think the quality of craftsmanship well justifies the price. Here is a shot of mine.
BTW, Raffi also makes custom pieces. For example my wife has a set of TT fuel cover earrings. He has done key chains, badging and shifter surrounds. If there is a design element of the Elise we would like Raffi to capture in one of his pieces, let’s talk about it here.
