While browsing through some web sites looking around for a good price for a FRPP CAI, I came across what appears to be a new product offering from FRPP for a shifter handle with a white ball. I wonder if this is the one installed on the GT500KR.

Just saw the note in fine print:

"same shift handle and knob used on the GT500KR but with the ford racing logo"

I want one!

180 bucks for a shift knob. Dude

I'd say most of the money is for that polished stainless shaft. It is nice looking though.

I don't think you should use the words 'polished' and 'shaft' in the same sentence around here.

Works for me!

They appear to be very proud of their polished shaft and ball.

To put it in perspective, I and others posting on this thread paid $200 for some nice carbon fiber bling that sits under the hood and can't really be enjoyed while driving. Now for a little less cost I can have a very nice looking shifter ball that I can enjoy while driving. It's not all that bad of a price if I rationalize it this way.

It's the same or similar to the KR shifter and it's a FRPP product and looks great. I will post pictures when I have it installed.

Looks great and no need for an adapter, changing threads heck I just checked on the other site for just a shift ball at $55.95 + $18.95 for alum jamb nut/boot adapt. + $10.00 for engraving on side $84.90 +shipping so your around $95.00 for a shift knob or $180.00 (inc shipping too) for shift knob and polished shaft, so thats roughly $85.00 for a polished shaft, I don't think thats so bad. I think a polished shaft is worth that

Unless someone has found something I haven't, I gave up trying to find a white engraved 6 speed ball. Kind of unusual that I found every color in the rainbow (and some not in a rainbow), but no white ones. I had called FRPP asking if the white ball used in the KR would be available soon and was told yes. Surely just the white ball will be available as a replacement part for the KR. But I do like the unit we are talking about albeit a little pricey.
