Possibly custom shift Knobs. (CNC MACHINED)

my mother is dating a guy who is an amazing machinist and I was asking him about the possibility of having a custom shift knob made up for the yaris. He said it was definitely something he can do. He said it can even be inscribed on the top or something too.. anyone have any ideas for a design?

A nice Honda Type R style knob would be nice:



Different weights would be nice too. I'm currently rocking a delrin ball knob (the one that Garm now sells) and I'd like to get a weightier type r style knob.

Or the word "yaris" or "vitz" on the top would be cool

^ yes, but something that look better than the stock knob would be nice, not necessarily weighted. :)

i would use the word 'yaris' in the same lettering that's on our emblems just because not everyone has switched to vitz lettering/logos and it would be confusing(not to those of us on this forum, but everyone else!). weighted would be awesome, but as stated above - anything is better than the stock piece of rubber! i would be ok with type-r style with shift pattern too, but i figure if you can get custom why not get something unique!
