Here is a picutre:



I want something one that won't burn my hand in the summer or freeze it in the winter, so metal was pretty much out.

I had it before my car was stolen, it's great(the shift ****). Never reflects the outside temp, always stays pretty neutral. The only thing its light and small, so if your use to weighted or large shift ***** takes some time to get use too. One of the nicest shift ***** out there classic piece

I had this shiftknob for a year or two. It was a nice piece, definitely didn't burn my hand during the summer. Very light piece, and you can definitely feel your shifts.

Recently, however, I got bored with the feel and opted for a stock OEM GSR shiftknob

I love my spoon shift ****. It feels very nice and it makes it feel like a short shifter or over stock ****.

I have the same black one and i hate it. There's like no weight to it at all and its weird feeling in my opinion. i actually went to a stock gsr **** instead

98+ gsr **** in eg =
99+ si **** =
2003+ si **** = sits too high
spoon **** = no weight and too skinny in my opinion...but it looks good

haha..same thing I did!! I'll have to agree though, there is no weight. And I'll have to admit, I've been through the greddy ****, the spoon ****, and now the Stock OEM GSR **** and have not missed a gear as much as I have with that spoon ****. Not sure why, but if i had to guess, I would blame it on the weight.

It doesn't get hot or cold, but I'll tell you this: I had one on my Civic and I went back to the stock...MUCH more comfortable. The Spoon unit offers a nice crisp shift feeling but that's nothing a pair of polyurethane shift linkage bushings won't provide while retaining the comfort of the stock shift ****

IMO the OEM ITR titanium shift **** is the best. its nice and heavy and never gets uncomfortably hot or cold. then again i've never felt a spoon ****.

just because it's SPOON doesn't mean it's all that. You do have to get used to it because it is light and small. I don't think it gets hot or cold. I never had a problem with the screw gettin loose on me either.... after using the SPOON **** for about a year, and switched to a stock SI one, the SI one felt so much better.....

So what do you think is better: skunk2's or spoon's? my friend has a skunk2 and said he likes it alot; and I was considering getting a spoon ****, but after reading some of these opinions, im questioning my thoughts.

i had it but took it out for a skunk2 ****. the spoon feels weird. it's too skiny and small. it's like you're holding onto the shifter and shifting into gears.

I had a Skunk 2 one before my Spoon. The SKunk 2 got really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. The Duracon material the Spoon shift **** is made out of makes it a neutral temp in any conditions. It felt great shifting through the gears matted to a gsr shifter. I decided to go all mugen now I'm back to a metal shift **** which takes in its surrounding temp, but I love the feel.

Skunk 2- wieght
Spoon- feel and neutral temp
Mugen- feel and blingness

i have the S2, its got some weight to it... and does get affected by the temperature. but it adjusts quickly to your hand.
