As the title says I see there are GT500 and Super Snake shift knobs but it seems the KR guys have been forgotten once again. Will we ever see one or is it just something to forget altogether?

I'm definitely in for one.  Is there a black knob with matte black shift pattern AND a white knob with black shift pattern?  Just curious because I think it would hard to see the GT500KR on the knob if it was black on black or even gray on black.  I think Iprefer a white knob with black shift pattern.  Either way, I want one and thanks for getting these!

The knob will be black with black stripes, but the pattern and logo will be white.

How about a GT-H black and gold shifter ball.  There's 21 5 spds out there and I would buy one or two for sure.  Sounds like a big opportunity for SPP :D

Seriously, maybe a one off special order?

Thanks Jer,

and if you can arrange for a one off GT-H shifter ball, I'll take it.  I know it will cost extra, but it would be worth it.  Let me know when it shows up. :)

Any chance of additional colours for the GT500 shift knob?  White with Black stripes or Blue with Red stripes ( :) ) would be entirely awesome. Please Thanks!
