ABOUT BAM SHIFTS
Established in 2015. BAM SHIFTS started as a thought that came from the constant need of owner Ivan Marcinko to explore, to create art, and to bring his vision of a rad shift knob brand to life. Based in southeast Idaho, we at BAM SHIFTS strive to provide top of the line shift knobs and accessories, carefully designed, and mostly manufactured in-house by husband and wife Ivan & Vera Marcinko. As a family owned business that started in our first small garage, we have come a long way in the past 7 years integrating unique craftsmanship with custom designs to provide amazing pieces to suit your wants and needs, we work hard to keep our quality up and always guarantee our work.
