02/03/10 - Custom Shift Knob
Shift knobs are a weirdly important part of the aesthetics of
a car (as well as functionality). As such, I needed a really
unique one... The only way to do this? DIY.
I've always dug putting Hello Kitty stuff on my car. It's so
JDM.
Trailer hitch cover:
Project a friend did based on my STi:
BMW horn button (was formerly on the STi)
So ANYWAY... I needed something that incorporated JDM-ness with some German flair.
What better than Hello Kitty in a German war helmet?
Drawing it in inventor was pretty much a huge pain, but I think it looks pretty good...
Then I printed her on our 3D printer...
I even printed the appropriate M10X1.25 thread in it:
Next up I'm going to paint her, then put a million coats of clear coat on it.
