Key Features

The Billetworkz shift knob combines precision engineering with artistic anodizing techniques to ensure durability and style. Key features include:

• Custom anodized finish with a striking black base and gold splash pattern, applied by hand for a one-of-a-kind appearance
• Polished to a mirror finish before anodizing to enhance color vibrancy and surface smoothness
• Constructed from high-grade 6061 aluminum for lightweight strength and corrosion resistance
• Scratch-resistant anodized coating that withstands daily use and maintains its finish over time
• Multiple shape options available, including Short Teardrop, Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge
• Designed specifically for 2013–2021 BRZ, FR-S, and 86 models to ensure compatibility
• Optional reverse lockout adapter recommended for all shapes except the Short Teardrop to achieve precise OEM fitment

Construction & Design

The shift knob is expertly machined from 6061 aluminum, a material prized for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to wear. Before anodizing, each knob is polished to a flawless mirror finish, creating a smooth surface that enhances the anodizing process. The anodizing itself is performed by hand using an intensive technique that layers vibrant colors onto the aluminum, resulting in a durable, scratch-resistant surface that resists fading and chipping.

The black base color with gold splash pattern adds a dynamic, custom look that complements the sporty interiors of the BRZ, FR-S, and 86. The design balances aesthetics with ergonomics, providing a comfortable grip for precise shifting.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward for enthusiasts familiar with aftermarket shift knobs. The Short Teardrop shape fits directly over the factory oversized reverse lockout mechanism, achieving an OEM-style fit without modifications. For other shapes such as Sphere, Lightbulb, Tall Teardrop, Piston, and Sledge, a reverse lockout adapter is recommended to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gap between the knob base and the lockout. This adapter allows the knob to sit slightly higher, maintaining full reverse lockout functionality and a secure fit.

No permanent modifications to the vehicle are required, making this an easy upgrade for drivers seeking both style and performance in their shifting experience.
