LiteGrip shift knobs

Install of LiteGrip Shift Knobs.

Factory knobs just pull straight off. LiteGrip knobs push directly on, then tighten set screw.

A friend of mine failed NJ inspection because they had a "rock knob" with no shift pattern. The "inspector" said the shift knob has to have the pattern on it.

I'd love to see where that's in the law and find out who made it a law, obviously they coudn't drive a stick.
