Default Is this a Skunk2 shifter?

Hey, I bought a Skunk2 short shifter off someone where on ht. I was under the impression that I was getting the dual bend Skunk2 SS. Although I never did ask if it was the dual bend, i thought they all were. I paid $90 for this shifter, and it has an authentic Skunk2 embossed serial number logo on it that is kinda peeling off (easily could have happened when it was originally installed)

The unit DOES feel solid and heavy tho....

Looks like the real thing to me. It has the satin finish on the shifter so my vote is that it is a real Skunk2.

SOrry bout the blurry in the second pic. Camera doesn't focus on stuff good that close.

Skunk2 makes more than one kind of shifter, the dual bend one is for GSR's.

When you want to take close up pictures, you need to set your camara to "Macro Mode" It is usually the icon with the flower. Then hold the camera about 6" away from the object. Try not to use the zoon in macro mode. You are better off taking a higher resolution image, then just cropping it down.

Heres the deal on that shifter, RODREZ was incredibly WRONG!
They make a dual bend shifter for civics. The dual bend shifter comes STOCK on GS-R,s so the DUMBEST THING you can do is install a Skunk2 SS for an integra on your integra....because it does NOT have the dual bend feature.
If you'e confused: I got my skunk2 shifter for my civic with the dual bend, it was 130 and it does not come with a ****, maybe someone packages it, but skunk2 does not.
I told my friend with a GS-R to get one because i love it, i didnt know that the one designed for the integra NO LONGER has that bend. People with integras can and should just buy the ones for civc.
So, in ending, you sir purchased yourself a genuine Skunk2 shifter, designed for an Acura Integra.
BTW- You will hate the shifter for a while, Skunk's sit lower than anything else, after bending my exhaust hanger all the way down it still rubbed, so i just dropped it.

Quick question... What's the advantage of a double bend shifter rather then a single bend?

It brings the shift **** closer to you...less reaching.

Yeah, uh, I was incredibly wrong when I said Skunk2 makes more than one type of short shifter. If you want, you can use an SS meant for a Civic in your Integra, it doesn't really matter. But I was incredibly wrong I guess, and I apologize to everyone. Your knowledge of foreign stiff metal poles is incredible, and we salute you Beaver, wow
