There really is a difference. Momo ***** are nicely weighted and the leather is top notch. I've had many different shift ***** over the past four years and the Momos are by far the best. I'm currently running one of the cheaper Momo ***** called the Super Anatomic. It's super comfy, heavy, thick, and the black leather is superb. It's not a bad deal for $40.

so you think this leather might die on me or wear out on me faster than if i bought the authentic momo? i guess i'll wait a little and keep checking ebay...i freaking missed a great deal on the **** i wanted for 50+ shipping because it ended right before i was ready to bid again...sucks

Dave,
I was looking at the Anatomic one.. they have 2 of them, a really long one and a short one..

which one do you have? also how does it affect the height of the stock shifter?

I don't want to make it too tall.. although I'm going to cut my shift rod..

they have to be fake. I got the f-16 and it's just what everyone has beein saying.
On the other side, I do not know about the other look-alikes, they may possibly be close(r) in quality that one may think.
Wait till someone gets one... anyone?

cheaper = less quality

You gotta think the long run... if you plan on swapping shifknobs a couple times, then by all means go for it. For ppl like me (poor), I don't plan to switch through *****, so i just spend the 1 time fee of gettin a REAL momo and i'm happy w/ it.

$70-80 is alot @ first...but
year = new **** $25 X over a few years = same amount or MORE
(b/c lower quality sometimes)

I've got the "tall" version teamed with my 1.5" cut shifter. I can still adjust the height of the **** to a lower postion if I wanted, but it's most comfortable where it's at. I held the "short" version and it was just too short for my liking. The tall is similiar in height to the factory ****.

Damn you cheap ***. Btw, what do you need picutres for? You totally obsess with mine when you see it, I'd figure you'd have a permanent picture in your mind. Just pay the 60 bucks. Its worth it. You can always sell it later. Btw your stupid store just sold me a cd burner for 40 bucks with a 50 mail in rebate.....hahaha......time to fleebay it.

Staples. Its a cendyne 32x10x40x burner. its 39.99 on clearance with a 50 dollar mail in rebate. goto fatwallet.com and find yourself a 10 dollar off 40 coupon and buy like a pen to bring the total to 40. then you buy and walk out with the burner for 30 sumthing, and sell it on ebay and make like 50 bucks. Or keep it and make like 20 bucks.
