DodgyRog Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Do they go over the existing knob or totally replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 They are less than a mm thicker than stock. They are covers so they need to be a bit thicker. End of the day i dont care if you like them or not, im fine with them so its up to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Go over them, like a cover rog I'll still take a set and judge for myself though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 They look okay to me, I guessed they were covers, so they have to be slightly bigger, thats why I asked:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Ah also figured out why they 'look' so big - can't see the edge of them in the second pic so we're just seeing the silver all the way to the back of the panel and not the front, if that makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Being less than a mm thicker than stock its gonna be the slight edge rather than a rounded edge that makes them look bigger I reckon. Still look sa'weet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That's Raven's great photography skills for you;) Sod off and take some better ones then!

The Raven Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 There i have been out again to try, i have altered the settings to try and show the sloped edge, you can also judge the distance between the Dodgyrog...I mean KNOB and the temp numbers. That should show how much bigger then are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) HeeHee:d What handbrake sleeve and cover have you got Russ, need to get one for mine as it's a bit worn, but I worried about the quality of fit, I don't want anything blingy and yours looks almost OEM which is what I am after Edited May 22, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Pretty sure he would make them smaller if you asked. I shelled them out about as far as I could when I made mine. You can see the size of them in the pic. http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/Supra/Interior/05032008044.jpg Also, is there a polished option? They always look FAR better polished.

Cheap as chips, down side is having to hack the old one quite alot to make it fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 When I made them for several GB's a few years ago I did the faces polished and the sides were brushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 im assuming u mean supraforums, which others had interest il have a look. Yes I did of course mean Supraforums in the US and the Australian Supra Owners Forum. Haven't posted on the German or NZ ones though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee from China Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Am I just being too fussy or do they look a little bit too big? Size is everything and your knobs can never be too big - ask any woman! And yes you are being too fussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
