^^ That sure is a good looking GTI ;)

I got the knob today, and it is paired with the short throw adapter that Boomba sells as well. The combo makes for a fantastic shifting experience! The throws are always positive and just thunk into gear. The height is fantastic, and it looks absolutely great in the car! My hand naturally goes to the shifter; I just have to be careful to not rest my hand on there all the time because it just feels that good! I also love that it doesn't bunch up the shifter leather either. The knob itself feels metal-like (I didn't know what delrin felt like before), but since it is delrin it should be comfortable through all four seasons. Initial impressions are very, very good! I would recommend it to anybody! My GTI feels like a snickety little race car now :)

Just installed mine and took a drive,I have to say between the boomba short shifter and knob it's the best bang for your buck. I was looking at "other" knobs that where 160+ I got both of these for that price. They pair well together and the knob feels just right. Good job guys keep the products coming!

Just as a suggestion I would love to see you guys make a second version of this knob with the only difference being some dimples on it to match the OEM GTI shift knob.

Idk how easy it is to work with derlin so idk if this is possible but I would defiantly buy one if I could keep a golf ball looking knob :)
