    Anyone have any insight on where to find JUST replacement knobs for the AC control unit on 458's? Not looking to buy a complete unit for thousands of dollars when all we need is a knob. Any help?

    Jeremy,

    Someone contacted us not long ago looking for the same part - perhaps the same customer? Likely best option would be to 3D print a cap and coat it. Sadly, that's not going to be inexpensive either.

    Well, it was another customer too - last he told me he was going to look all over the car for it - perhaps he found it :)

    Haha! :)

    We've taken photos and photos for installation instructions but we've been busy with other projects. We'll get that stuff done over the next couple of weeks. I think we made 30 sets to start so we should be good for a while ;)
