Construction & Design

The Billetworkz shift knob is crafted from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent corrosion resistance and robust strength. The knob is CNC machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and finish. After machining, it undergoes a thorough cleaning process before being powdercoated, providing a durable surface that resists wear and maintains its appearance over time.

The laser engraving process permanently marks the shift pattern and brand logos with precision, preventing any fading or rubbing off during regular use. The weighted design adds mass to the knob, which helps reduce shifting effort and enhances the overall feel of gear changes.
