Construction & Design

The Billetworkz shift knob is precision-machined from high-quality 6061 aluminum, a material prized for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Each knob undergoes a meticulous polishing process to achieve a mirror-like surface before the anodizing stage. The anodizing is performed by hand, layering vibrant colors through an intensive technique that ensures a durable, scratch-resistant finish capable of withstanding daily use and exposure to elements inside the vehicle cabin.

The design takes into account the unique reverse lockout mechanism found in these vehicles. While the Short Teardrop shape fits seamlessly with the factory lockout, other shapes require a Reverse Lockout Adaptor to maintain proper clearance and functionality, preventing any interference during gear shifts.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Billetworkz shift knob is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory knob on 2013–2021 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota 86 models. The Short Teardrop shape installs easily without modification, providing an OEM-like fit and feel. For other available shapes, it is recommended to use the Reverse Lockout Adaptor to ensure proper clearance and eliminate any gaps between the knob base and the reverse lockout mechanism.

No special tools are typically required, and the process can be completed in minutes, making it an accessible upgrade for enthusiasts of all skill levels.
