GB Interest: Illuminated(or not) Rx8 5 Speed Shift Knobs
 

I know a some people have been looking for the Illuminated Rx8 5 speed shift knobs for a while. I've had a few people claim to be able to get them but in the end they couldn't pull it off.

The non illuminated 5 speed version is available elsewhere, but at $100 a pop, some can't justify the price for a knob. I bet Ramy could get a hold of some of these for a more attractive price.

From the info I have these knobs have the same thread pattern as s5 and s6.

I'd be interested in an illuminated knob for my FD and maybe a second one or a non illuminated knob for my FC depending on prices.

Good GB idea. Ramy is going to look into it. :)

I can go for another rx8 knob

im down.

Best modification I did, seriously. These shift knobs are high quality and just the right "heft" because they are OEM. And they look great too lighted up at night.

FYI - I have a short shifter, hence the excess of boot material. I have one from redline goods that will solve this problem and I'll install it once I get my car back from Gotham Racing.

Interested.

I'm definitely interested too

I'd definately be in. Would like to know if there is a difference in appearance between the illuminated and the non when it's not illuminated if that makes sense. I guess a bunch of pics would clear up any confusion.

I want an illuminated one. I am in depending on final price.

I have the non-illuminated 5 spd on my fc vert and love it :icon_tup:

im in for an illuminated one...depending on price as well.

also interested

interested if its not 100 bucks =]

I second that.

i want an illuminated one

updates?

would be interested in an illuminated 5spd knob.

To my knowledge there is no difference in the appearence of the lighted versus non-lighted until you turn the lights on. It's well worth it though because of its look when lighted. It's very cool.

I'd be in aswell.

Yep, thats what I have gathered from my research.

So? Update anyone?

I'm sure Ramy will post pricing info once he receives it. I'm eager to get my hands on these as well.

I think that is the Mazda part number for the black leather illuminated 5 speed.

I would be in too if the price is good. I mean... I've already done half the work for ya Ramy ;)

can you get a different color because i have the whole blue light thing going on in my fd

Good question. I'd love to have a blue one instead. I was actually planning on taking it apart and putting in a blue LED instead. But if I don't have to do that that would be excellent.
