Default skunk2 shift ****

Does this look legit to you guys. It's is cheaper which makes me think ok I found a good deal or o I'm getting ripped off thanks for the help.

not a big fan of that shift ****, but if you decide to pick it up shop around that website isn't the best price

That's a pretty good price. They usually sell for around 50+ shipping. jhpusa.com has the BLOX **** on sale, looks very similar and is the same weight.
http://jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.a...&idproduct=384 40 for the skunk2
http://jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.a...&idproduct=552 30 for the blox
Shipping is around 15 dollars I think. I just ordered a **** for my friends birthday a week ago from there.

Pretty sure he wasn't asking about a B&M shift ****, based on the thread title.

If Skunk2 is out of stock, get the BLOX ****, it is virtually identical.

nice ****, i have the same, it sucks in the winter time when its really cold, and in the summer time when it is really hot, because it adapts to the weather around, meaning it gets really COLD, or really HOT.

I also have that same shift ****, and I love it. It doesn't really bug me in the summer because it doesn't get too hot. Not so much fun in the winter, especially canadian winters. I had frost on mine one morning. I bought mine for 45 canadian at a local shop.

You can get a Revo SS for relatively cheap.




Edit: You'll probably want to change the shift boot. The large plastic clip/cap looks goofy without the OEM **** attached to it.

yeah i have a Type R boot... gonna get a revo ss in the spring.

the oem **** is huge compared to the blox. so if you have big hands it might feel weird for a while.

You'll have to modify it to fit, but it's easy.

You will not be using the bracket that comes on the Type R boot. You will have to use scissors to trim the bottom of it so that it will fit properly into your OEM boot ring. It's not difficult. Do one section at a time, don't try to trim the whole thing in one shot.

I had a metal **** too and it did get either really hot or really cold but then i got a monsterknob from ebay and to be honest I am so happy with it. Does not get hot or cold usually warm and feels great.
