I hated the shiftboot too. I think the only ones out there is just Mugen. I am planning to make some

I like the spoon too, but I have just one question.
In a car that weighs 2500 pounds, light as that is for a car, why do companies always advertise stupid parts as being "extremely light weight".
I can see this for things like wheels and brakes because unsprung weight has a disproportionate effect on a car's performance, and even larger items like seats for the interior. Do people really thing that buying a shift **** that weighs 2 grams less than the stock one will improve the car in any way other than looking better and feeling nicer? just wondering.

Actually, many aftermarket shift ***** are heavier than stock, for better feel. The top of the shifter would have more mass, therefore it would have more momentum. The result is not having to push as hard, since the heavier **** would do some of the work for you. I'm sure that the physics that I described are wrong, but I know for a fact that heavier ***** make shifting easier on many cars.

to further build upon what CivicWagon was mentioning, the issue of weight is all in the preference of the driver insofar as shift ***** go. Some people want a really light **** while others prefer a heavier ****. It's all dependent on the driver. I personally prefer a heavier ****.
