Vms racing amazon shift *****

So I won 40 bucks to amazon at work. Getting my new shift boot and trim
Put on, vms racing has a ton of different thread on shift ***** on amazon for our cars for about 30 shipped. Anyone have Any experience with these *****? They have all different colors, and I'm leaning towards the spherical shaped **** like this one

I might just have to take a chance and try it out, I really wanted something weighted but it looks good for the price

My buddy had the weighted Skunk2 shift **** on his Prelude SH. Man did that thing shift nice. Nicest feeling shifts on any car I have driven.

SO i got some goodies yesterday, uncracked shifter trim, shift ****, new leather boot, and nokya h3 bulbs.

Shift **** overall is pretty nice, not bad for $27 shipped

The shape and design looks very similar to my Blox 490 shift ****, minus the shift pattern. Mine doesn't have that.

But yours is nice and heavy. My buddy has one that I ordered for him. It looks and feels amazing. Shifts like a hot knife through butter.

Yep I like it. It gets the 490 because it weighs 490 grams, or a little over a pound at 17.2 ounces.

And I like how it's direct fit. I've dealt with universal shift ***** in the past, and they always loosen up over time, and you can only tighten it down so much and so many times. With the Blox ****, it was just screwed on, and I like the solid feel. And, it's an actual ****, which I prefer.

I know. He's got it in his S13. Ordered it in Neo chrome but he takes it off from time to time. He's afraid the color is going to get worn.

How long have you had yours for? What color is it? Any signs of it getting worn?
