Default Which Shift **** should I get for my NHBP Si Coupe. Theme being Red and Black

Should I replace the Aluminium JDM **** I have with either

A. The Spoon Sports Titanium burnt ****??

or

B. The Circuithero???


I love the way both look. Or should I get the Titanium JDM ****? Any thought or opinion please.

Thanks

Sounds like a good combo

I'm in a similar situation...I'd like to get rid of the OEM **** and boot. Where can I find a Type-R boot for my 07 Si?

What also works is for the color scheme is the Skunk2 ****. It's heavier than the JDM **** (the same as the Circuit Hero ****).

What's the difference between the CTR boot and the Auger black leather/red stitching boot?

trust me on this... do not get the Auger shift boot.. I paid like $35 for it, but that's not my complaint about it.

It's too thin of a material, but still stiff....which makes it get like creases as if made by paper.

Another thing is, it gets gray fast due to dust, and especially the part where your pinky wraps around it, gets all gray/light brown due to your skin cells/dirt. You can't clean it..

I highly regret the Auger boot and will get the type R (07) one if and when it is available. if not, the CTR one looks aiite. (ITR?)

Hmm...maybe the non-Alcantara one would be better.

I kinda think the circuit hero shift **** would feel nicer and more meaty in my hands.. the stock one (same size as skunk2) i think, seems a little small.

i thought the circuit hero was significantly heavier thank the skunk2? (in comparison to the oem **** that is) i thought that is why people were choosing the hero **** because it was 1.3 lbs or somewhere in the neighborhood. if u are going red and black theme, then yea the skunk2 would be a good bet since its a nice gunmetal finish with red etching.

The skunk2 is skinnier than the OEM **** but weighs in at 440g or 15.5 oz.

I'm sure the leather Auger boot wouldn't have any of those problems.

I really like this setup. Alot. This is probably what I am going to go with, but I do like that Skunk2 **** as well. I have the auger boot now with the DC5-R ****, and its okay. But i am totally feeling the setup Mike has. Thanks guys for all the input! Hey Mike where did you get that boot?

The Skunk2 **** is great. I'm 6'4" 230lbs and have big hands so i wanted something i could grip/palm so i went with Circuithero... after CONSTANT badgering from a friend with one

I dont like to hold the **** from the side... but from the top with it in the palm of my hand. (hard to explain)
Also the boot was donated to me by SeanJohn1802

I had a custom one for my ep3 back in the day but sold it and SeanJohn1802 asked if i wanted it for my FG

I like a lot of those, but in the summer, without the leather around it... too hot to touch, and trying to find something to put over it is a hassle.
