pearl voodoo shift knob in P5
 
for anyone wondering what the pearl finished team voodoo knob looks like against the silver console pieces:

Looks nice! I put a polished Voodoo in my P5 that I had laying around the house from my Miata (which I put an engraved Voodoo in). I like the polished because it matches the polished brake button and steering wheel logo, but the satin matches the dash. Think both looks nice, just a taste thing. Good thing for you though is you won't have the polish the satin every other month to keep it looking nice :)

i really wish voodoo made an e-brake handle that fits the pro so i could match it up. maybe someday.

i used to have a silver washer at the base of the knob to match the e-brake button but then decided to just rip that ring out of the boot and zip-tie the boot right to the collar of the knob.

of course, you're the one that convinced me to get the voodoo. :)

i couldn't get the shift boot to look as clean at the top though.

What thread size did you order? And whom did you get the engraving done thru? I have been trying to get ahold of Knobmeister, but they won't return emails....

Thanks...

Alcholoday: can you take a close up of the shift boot? I want to see how that looks...

BTW:

Check this out, this might help w/ the boot issue....

i'll do that tonite. check back later this evening.

Thanks dude, I just want to see if it is "bad" or if it something that is easily fixed / covered up.... Thanks.,.

P.s. Who did you order your voodoo from?

grim013:

the thread size is the same as on the miata. as such, you can order through any miata distributor that carries the knobs.

also, that thread collar you linked to will NOT work with the magnum knobs, only the standard size knobs. (which have a smaller neck) the larger end on the collar has the same diameter as the magnum knob, so it would be pointless anyway.

So your saying definatly go with a Magnum Knob? Or is it just a matter of preference...

njaremka Sep 9, 2002 02:02 PM

simply a matter of preference. the stadard knob is slightly smaller, and you can use the trim ring. (which in my opinion looks great with a black knob) the magnum knob is a little bigger, and gives a slightly better feel in your hand. (again, only my opinion) whichever one you go with, you will NOT be dissapointed.

The magnum doesn't make it look like you have a damn snowglobe on there or anything does it?

not at all. the standard knob is 1-7/8 inches and the magnum is 2 inches. it doesn't sound like much, but your hand will notice a difference.
