Default Which shift **** is better?

I'm trying to buy either one of these:

Momo Phantom/Shadow

This is the Phantom. The Shadow has black leather instead of the silver.

Razo Type 400 Leather (link below for pic) http://www.inlinefour.com/razredstitsh.html

I heard that Momo's don't fit perfectly, or get loose every once in a while.....is this true? Btw, the **** is for my '97 integra.

What would you buy?

#1 - its not real carbon fiber

#2 - the 'POLISHED ALUMINUM' is paint that chipped off within a year.

i have a sparco **** and a DC ****...the sparco one is just a aluminum ball but its perfect for just about everyones hand unless you're a 7ft basketball player.....but the one i use most is my gunmetal DC **** just because the gunmetal color is cooler and it fits my hand well.....i switch em around though

true, momo's dont just screw onto the shifter. they use 3 little plastics screws to stabilize the shift **** and i guess for some people it does work itself loose after a few months or so, but i've had mines for only a month sofar and everything seems fine.

I had a Momo Shadow in my car when I was younger. It was alright, except it was annoying having to retight the 3 hex screws every once in a while. Get a mugen or Spoon one since they're threaded for Hondas.

i like my mugen shift ****. its 70 sumthing bucks from kingsmotorsports.

i also had a spoon shift **** but i didnt like the way it sat so high, but it felt nice.

both were oem replacements that just screwed in, which made it more convenient

than all the other after market ones that you screw into your shifter.

makes ugly dent marks in your shifter when you replace your shift **** and its

exposed.

I had a few, I tend to like the all metal ones. I have used a few razos, momos and now I am using a local brand all metal ****. Kinda like the type R **** but without any engraving. I liked the razo and the one I am using now. The momos were great, but I missed alot when I was using the shadow as the surface was too slippery if my hand was sweaty on the track.
