Honda Drivers: The Mod You Actually Feel Every Drive
Let’s Be Honest About First Mods
Before you throw money at a cold-air intake, exhaust, or neon footwell lights, let’s talk about the one part of your car you literally touch every time you drive — the shift knob. We get it — the endless scroll of “first mod ideas” on Reddit and Facebook groups can make you want to order a whole JDM cart. But when it comes to mods that actually change how your car feels, it’s time to start where your hand meets the drive.
Manual Drivers: Why a Shift Knob is the Smartest “First Mod”
It’s cheap (typically under $150), doesn’t void your warranty, and immediately improves driving feel. The OEM knob on most Hondas — especially Civics, Integras, and Type Rs — is, frankly, lightweight and forgettable. A properly weighted shift knob gives you smoother throws, more mechanical engagement, and that satisfying click-click every time you row through the gears. It’s a mod that doesn’t just look cool — it feels different.

Why Weight & Looks Matter
Ever tried throwing a baseball versus a wiffle ball? Same motion, completely different feel. That’s what a weighted knob does — it adds momentum to your shifts. Billetworkz knobs range from 450g to 1000g, so whether you like your shifts crisp and snappy or buttery-smooth, there’s a weight that transforms the experience.
You bought a Honda because it’s fun to drive — so make it look like it. Billetworkz knobs come in materials like Aluminum (for that machined look), Delrin (for temperature resistance), like our Hybrid shift knob pictured below, and Titanium (for show-car clout). Choose your finish — matte, polished, or torched — and make it yours with optional engravings or logos.
Because if your car community loves one thing, it’s individuality.
What about the Auto gang?!
Let’s squash a myth — you don’t need a clutch pedal to care about your interior. CVT and automatic Honda owners can still elevate their cockpit with an Automatic Shifter that comes complete with our auto adaptor and shift knob.
Here’s the truth: you still shift, touch, and see that knob every drive. A Billetworkz Automatic Shifter transforms that experience — turning a plastic, flimsy OEM shifter into a statement piece. Pair it with a matching Shift Boot and suddenly even your CVT has that track-inspired feel.
Whether you’re dailying a Civic Sport or rocking a 10th-gen Accord, Billetworkz gives your automatic the same premium touch as any stick-shift.

Automatic Adaptors |
Color Combinations |
|
The automatic adapter replaces the factory shift knob button with a fixed-position lockout system—providing a cleaner, safer, and more stable shifting experience. Unlike other setups that require pressing down on the shift knob itself, our design keeps the knob locked in place, eliminating unwanted movement and interior rattle. |
With Shift Knob and Reverse Lockout Adaptor color options, customization is endless. Color-match your interior or stick with a classic look. |

Why Billetworkz?
Because we’re not some drop-ship brand selling mystery metal off eBay. We proudly design, engineer, and engrave every Billetworkz knob here in the USA, tested by enthusiasts, and built for the cars we actually drive. We obsess over feel, balance, and design because we know every millimeter matters when you’re heel-to-toeing through the gears (or knocking your CVT into Sport Mode for fun).
If you’re ready to make your daily drive feel like your dream car — start with the part you touch the most.
