Think of it as minimalist industrial, with subtle color variations, sleek elegant lines, and a focus on speed even when it’s not in motion. Here at Bowler Performance we’ve designed a series of shift knobs that take a more minimalistic approach to style. Meshing the two styles together has given us some amazing cars that perform as well as they look. Many of the top award winning cars of the past few years have been modern takes on classic designs. In the Pro Touring movement there has been a steady shift to a more machined and industrial look to the designs.

Whatever your preference, there are enough options available today that you’ll find what you’re looking for. It needs to either blend in seamlessly with the rest of the design or jump out and grab you by the throat and steal your wallet. It doesn’t matter if you have a roached out rat rod or Ridler award winner, the shift knob will make or break it. The shift knob! I’ve seen more folks stress over the perfect shift knob to put that final touch on their ride than whether or not the brakes work. There is always one area of the car that will usually stick out above all else.

We paint them our favorite colors, set the ride height for the stance we like, add as much horsepower as our own personal thrill meter will handle, and deck out the interiors to reflect our refined personality or lack of taste altogether. I’ve met many guys that are starched white button-down by day and dirty white crew neck once you stick them behind the wheel of a hot rod. It is often a reflection of our personality, and maybe even a little of who we really want to be, when we can’t be ourselves. We use them as a way to express our own personal style in the same way we dress ourselves. There is something about our cars that feels like an extension of ourselves.
