When you spend a chunk of it on something like this. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/26/leather-is-the-key-for-bentley-owners/">leather Bentley key case</a> is one thing, but this ... this operates on a level all its own.<br /> </p>
<p>This shift knob, made for Bentley by IcedOutEmz, a brand of the Las Vegas-based LP Wheel Group, comes studded with 30 karats worth of diamonds trimmed with 10 ounces of 18-karat white gold. </p>
<p>All that bling comes with a hefty price tag: $150k (spitting distance of the Continental GT's $170,000 MSRP itself). That's what it takes to stand out at the SEMA show, where the shift knob will be unveiled this coming November.</p>
