Why did the email link send you here? Because what's below is REALLY important!

Please follow these tips:

• In our emails, use your REPLY button so I can keep a record of what we're doing with your project.
• Please wade through the information below for details. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Important Information:

Starting January 15, 2012, a limited number of single orders will be taken each month. It all depends on how busy the queue gets, so get your requests in quickly to improve your options. Wholesale work has to "trump" the singles, so time is hard to estimate; I'll certainly try to make it worth your while, though! Read on for more important tips on contacting me.

Demand is growing; if you'd like at least 10 knobs, I'd love to hear from you. Production numbers normally range from 10 to 150 knobs per order. Small business, personalized service, and a great product; references available.

When you email, you must include the following:

• Pertinent thread information
• Your ideas of what you'd like done
• Your questions about what Koolknobs' projects are available
• How many knobs you're interested in, and on what time line
• Other issues you'd like information on.

Please contact me by phone (307-689-6705) or email for ordering information at koolknobs@collinscom.net; we can discuss your needs, copyrights, costs, etc. I'll make every effort to get you exactly what your customers want. Below you'll find the basics of what's needed for an order.

Now, on to the ordering info!

How can you get one?

In your email, include some information about your car and project:

• COLORS: This is where we can get creative. Matching colors, swirls, solids, metallics; I have many different colors in stock, or I can use a small liquid sample of your paint to do a perfect paint match to your car. You'll send me the sample (1/4 oz. or so) and I'll use it as the dye for the project. I have quite a few automotive colors in stock, so if you have something in mind, please ask.
• YOUR VEHICLE: I need the year, make and model of your vehicle to ensure that your knob will fit your car. I haven't figured out a good adapter for newer VW, Porsche, or Audi vehicles.
• THREADS and SHIFT LEVERS: No buttons, either electronic or mechanical. Some cars don't have threaded levers, like column shifts and some floor shifts. I make adapters for many cars and trucks. They glue on or, in rare cases, have set screws to hold them. Others are available, depending on your application. I might need some measurements and photos, but I can usually come up with a way to get a product on your vehicle.
• ITEMS CAST IN: These items need to fit an area about the size of a half dollar in order to display well in a knob. A few items end up larger, like some plastic toys, but I'll want a description of what you have in mind to see whether I can trim or alter the item. 3D items need to fit in the top half of a 2" dome to fit my molds.
• ENGRAVING: If I can draw the part in my CAD program, I can engrave it in your shifter knob. Text, simple images, smiley faces; those are examples of engraving that work well. My engraving program won't accept photos or clip art.

PRICING for wholesale orders will depend on what you'd like; the costs below are suggested retail.

Retail prices start around $50 including shipping. I make every effort to give you a very unique product for a reasonable price. Most single orders end up somewhere between $70 and $90 as a ballpark figure.

WHOLESALE ORDERS are encouraged! Wholesale prices are available for orders of at least 10 knobs.

PAYMENT: PayPal is great! Use my email address, koolknobs@collinscom.net. If you prefer a check or money order (payable to Bruce Roosa), you can send it to my address on the contact page. A short note summarizing the project will help me keep track of the order and can include your shipping address. All international orders must use PayPal for payment.

Time: It'll take me up to 3 weeks, sometimes longer, to complete your project. Timing depends on how many projects are in my queue, but please feel free to drop me an email and ask how things are going. That may seem like a long time, but remember this is a custom, one-off product; I don't keep much in stock, so everything has to be made from scratch. Time can go as long as 5 weeks on more complicated projects.

On copyrights: I won't knowingly violate a copyright. I can place an object you own in a knob, such as a hat pin, if you send it to me, but I can't create or copy anything that's licensed or protected. I can use only original artwork unless I have its owner's permission.

Disclaimer/Warranty:

Defects: I will cheerfully correct anything that's wrong with the knob when you receive it for a period of 3 months. I can't guarantee, though, that the resin won't affect the item you send me (even if it ruins it). Neither can I ensure that the knob won't ever be affected by extreme temperatures or damage that might be caused when it is installed. Koolknobs Brand Shifter Knobs is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by its products due to incorrect or improper use. The Koolknobs Brand name is a registered trademark.

Just don't like it: I'll work with you as much as I can if you get the product and it's not what you thought it would be. I take each situation case by case, but if there's nothing wrong with the product, I won't promise to make big changes for free. A custom product like this isn't going to receive a full refund unless there's something wrong with it.
