Hey guys I was checkin out some glow shiftknob on E-Bay. I was wondering if anyone has this or knows anything about it. Is it worth it? Or should i just invest in a $50 Ichibahn one? Heres the link to the knob on ebay.

You won't like it, the rubber adapter insert pieces make the knob come loose all the time.

depends on the adaptor. My Momo knob uses something similar.. with three allen bolts at the bottom to grab the shift "stick" It has never come loose in 5 years... Those Rubber adaptors though.. they look HUGE!

If you go with an Ichibahn, get something that isn't colored. I have two knobs, one red that I had for my ride, the other is blue for my wifes. They have both faded really bad! In fact I replaced mine with a Juntos.

I have that same knob in your link but in red. I really recommend it. It's short, looks good, and is really nice at night. Mine isn't loose, but I can twist it if I want to. The only problem with the red is when I'm in second gear the leds light up my face and cops could possibly get pissed and pull me over. Other than that I think it's one of the best shifters out there
