Where to get a billiard shift knob..

[Novice_cardude]

Okay, my first mod to my car is going to be a shift knob. I love the stock one but I have always wanted a pool ball shifter. Plus I can do this 'mod' in 10 seconds.

Soooo... I set out to find one and have had no luck. I found one place that was selling 'em for $50, and they just had a 'universal' rubber insert that smooshes onto any shaft...

I don't really know where to begin looking for one that will fit a Camry, so i'm blindly staggering around on Google with phrases such as "JUST FIND ME A FRIKKIN SHIFT KNOB!!!" ... yeah it's not going too well.

Any help would be great!

take a look on ebay...they have 8-ball shifters all over the place for cheap

I'd try to make one but im not sure if the billiard balls material would crack when you try to tap it or not. If it did you'd probably have to use some sort of metal insert, best bet anyways as it would be more durable.

Its an old school hot rod thing, try googling it.

Hmm, i found a couple places that sell actual tapped pool balls, they're only like $16. I'm considering getting a cue ball or a Blue no. 2. The 8-ball is always nice, but I don't know if that shiny blackness would go well with my tan interior.

For those of you who are considering this, here's a couple pics of what they look like ... not in a Camry, but you can use your imagination...




And...

This one is really done right, striped 10 ball with a matching boot:




Anyways, i'm still considering which one to get. ... maybe a nice yellow 1 ball. Because i'm number 1!
