they are well weighted and gives a different look to the inside of your car!

i just wanted to see who would like to have one?

there are only 16 knobs to be sold. so if i can get 16 people interested in em i will make them and ship them out.

hey be careful drilling these out, the pool ball material is some wierd stuff, never seen anything that drilled quite like it before. most pool balls are made by the same company,and it's a synthetic resin, they used to make them out of bakelite,which hasn't been used in years,not sure how well it would drill. oh the red one needs the bottom of an atari joystick to go with it.:D

thats an idea. i can make a bunch of just plain white cue balls and you guys can get a 3geez decal and put it on

also: if 2 people want an 8 or if 2 people want a cue ball i could try and get multiples

you could always just get a cue ball and spray it with candy paint or something. Then put the decal on, and then give it a few coats of clear coat.

thats a good ideas if 84 is up to painting them that should work great

would be cheaper then buying i set you can just buy a cue ball and some paint

its up to you guys. i honestly like the idea of the numbers. if you guys want the custom painted ones then thats fine. but itll probably cost extra because i have to buy paint and clear coat.

if i could find someone who could make the 3geez decal cheap enough id gladly do the custom balls and paint em and everything.

well if you did white cue balls and used a 3geez stencil and just used and air brush then clear coated them

Don't know if I said this or not, but I'd kill for a smiley face shift knob. Bitches love smiley faces.

I just installed my 1 ball shift knob stat1k got me. I have to say it feels better than the aluminum knob I had on there before. Perfect weight IMO. Plus the yellow is so sick!

Even if this little group buy thingamabob doesn't end up happening I'm still gonna find one of those smiley cue balls. Even if I end up paying out the ass for a one off.

Wal-Mart has:
1) cue balls,
2) paint.

true. but i doubt i could make them of that quality. unless i got a stencil and just sprayed the white cue balls with black paint. so the smiley was just outlined in black?
