me, ive got one laying around was on the car about 4-6 months, took it out b/c of the girlfriend and also it was kinda a pain in the *** in traffic. looks brand new i think the b&m sticker might still be in the origional box. i also got mine from swa, steve is a great guy.

you can look at the courtesy short shifter which is the replica of the b&m, and cheaper too.

my brother has the custom max sts and it doesnt hit, maybe its in the adjustment, its nice and short and I have the nismo aluminum sts, its not very much shorter than stock and the throw isnt reduced a whole lot, i think i got the beginners sts, lol, but its workin well for me.

haha, it's the e-bay nismo company. how can they put the name and exact logo on their products and then sell ****?

oh well, you usually get what you pay for.
the courtesy is gone from their site. is it anywhere else on google? i haven't looked yet, but will.
