Default ITR Ti **** vs Skunk2 ****

My ITR **** was stolen from a recent break-in to my vehicle. Paired with the skunk2 short shifter it felt really nice. I had a WTB thread in the classifieds but have found no such luck in finding another. I came across a GB for a skunk2 **** which looks similar to the ITR **** and not as expensive (50$~)

My question is would the skunk2 **** feel similiar if not the same as the ITR?

Yes indeed, it all depends on who's doing the driving. I personally prefer the ITR ****.

i don't understand why dealerships want to rape people like this. do you think it has something to do with insurance companies mostly dealing with them about this kind of stuff? that's ******* rediculous

i'll ALWAYS own and drive hondas, but i bet this kind of thing drives alot of people away from buying another one, terrible

This is because the R is a limited production car therefore so are its parts which makes them more expensive. Also if the type R **** was much cheaper every ricer would be heading to the dealer to get one! You pay the price for exclusiveness.

I had the Skunk 2 **** paired with a C's short shifter, I then got a Mugen shift **** and like the feel of it a lot better. Its a personal preference though...

Thanks you got my vote after mentioning the discoloring of the skunk2 ****. Im willing to pay for quality craftsmanship. Can't go wrong with the titanium itr ****. Any one got an extra itr **** laying around?

My 98 came with the leather shift ****, which I quickly changed to the Ti (along with the JDM shift boot), and was loving it!

my skunk2 shiftknob hasn't discolored..it's been half a year since i've had it.
i had an rsx aluminum 5spd shift **** which was the same size as the itr/skunk2
and had a cool feel to it. the titanium feels best imo, but for about 50 bucks,
the skunk2 is heavier and has a nice feel to it as well, imo.

BUT, the titanium **** was while i was driving the type r of this girl i'm seeing. (it's her bro's, but it's hers half the time. i'm in envy) so maybe the fact that i
was driving a type r had to do with my preference.

itr titanium=smooth style, can't beat the original.
skunk2=hardcore (weight), and value (price)
