usdm aluminum **** is lighter than the jdm titanium one.

jdm titanium one has a more chrome look compared to the dull grey that the usdm one is.

dude, you gotta be joking me man. You are lucky you were dealing with an honest sales person when you bought the **** who actually gave you what you were promised. It's funny how you didn't even ask me if it was real or not when you bought it, and how you were so quick to send out a money order without even asking me to furnish any vouches. Be smarter in the future with your online transactions, you don't know how many scammers are out there. You could talked to me directly before making a post about the matter and doubting the info I told you with a post full of 's That **** came directly out of my 2000 itr and was replaced with a stock ls shift **** because personally I can't stand the feel of the itr ****.

its all good, I wasnt trying to confirm if it was real or not... just trying to see how much titanium actually weighed.. because a friend (nightrider) said that titanium was very light when infact the **** was heavy... I did some searching to see if there were any threads on the weight of the **** but there wern't, so I made this thread to see if somone knew the weight of the shiftknob... still didnt get the answer because one person said it was light the other said it was heavy... really I don't care now wether it is real or not... I am just happy to have done business with you and I like the fact that it is weighted so whatever

you'll get a vouch from me if you make a vouch thread
and yes it was my fault not to ask questions as to wether it was real or not, but I got what I wanted, and I'm happy thats all that matters, I have started to ask more questions and for vouches when I'm buying things now... I guess with you because it was not a whole lot of money, I wasnt very worried..

FWIW, a heavier **** would be more beneficial -- improved shifting feel.

It's supposed to be pretty damn heavy. Honda intentionally did this to improve shift feel on the Type R models.
