10 weeks?? Uugggg. I ordered mine (same thing but in white) on 28 Dec. they advertise 4 weeks, WTF? I emailed last night for an update. 10 weeks is ridiculous.

So I got an update that they’re getting an order in next week (mines in there) and then they’ll ship it out. That’s gonna put me at 6+. I wrote them back today and recommended they change their “4 week” advertisement on these.

I went with the car matching colors too (white w/blue stripes), but wondering if I should have gone solid red to match the start button!

I’d guess not a lot of movement on Shelby specific parts.

And the name adds an additional 20% to its cost too.

Speaking of which...as you know, that shift knob is ~$80 something. Well, I had been flipping back and fourth to the site over several weeks debating color/design. Was in there one random day (28 Dec) and that sucker showed up as $60!!! No sale advertised or anything. I put it in my cart and bought it and nothing goofy happened. Got mine for $60 straight off the site like anyone else. I checked back and that price was gone the next day. Wonder if that’s something CJ does on a whim?

So mine finally shipped today. Four weeks...yea, right :-/

I already have my stock knob loose and ready to come off. Did the three piece alcantara kit and had to get the knob off for that. I've never heard of the 2nd gear issue, and I don't think I have that issue, but I'll check it out.

Meh. Meh. What do you guys think? I like it from outside when you can see all the white and blue, then it makes sense. Inside the car, it stands out too much. The interior is too refined to have this bright ass white knob there. Everything else goes together...except the knob. I think I’d prefer a plan Red one to match the starter button. But for now...just meh. I’ll give it a chance though. I thought the old school white knob would be instantly cool, but...meh.

Update...so based on my original comments/photo's, I took that one back off. Gave it a few days, but was not happy with it. One other thing I didn't like that I didn't mention originally was the size. That thing was big. If you got some big bear claws it may be OK, but it was too big for me. I swapped it out for the solid red Ford knob. Mucho mucho better. It's a smaller, more traditional size and the red matches very nicely with the red starter button sitting right there beside it. More subtle and flows better with the interior. Oh well.

Galaxy just seeing this... but I like it! What matters though is that you are happy with the final result. Post a pic of the Ford red shift handle, I'm assuming it's a ball not the stock unit? I really like the size of the ball, but glove size is a large so that's likely why.

Yesterday I returned to the stock knob. I liked the Ford knob better than the CJPP knob due to size and color, but this shift knob is one item on a long list of stuff that Ford got right. The size/shape works, and the design just compliments the interior better than any aftermarket knob is going to.

Galaxy, we're all different and "fit" is so subjective

Completely agree.
