Woohoo!

Does anyone else think the stock knob is a bit bulky? Can't wait to install this bad boy! I was also looking at a Skunk2 knob, but damn, is that mofo heavy. The Skunk2 knob weighed a ton. I don't know if it really helps your shifting to have such a heavy knob on your shifter, so I went with the dependable Spoon Duracon (Black) knob. I was thinking about going with the aluminium knob, but I have heard peeps complain about the knob being cold in winter, and hot in summer. Plus I prefer black auto parts over silver parts. I'll take some pics when I get it in.

Anyone know where to find a cheap rear camber kit?

Weighed shift knob is awesome.
Matches perfect with CTR shift boot.
I went through at least 7-8 shift knobs already.
Skunk2 is the best one so far.

I think I like the Skunk one better, they both look good though.

No offense bro but that spoon knob looks like it belongs on an 86 CRX.

dont you have to do something to make the boot stay up for aftermarket shift knobs?

The Skunk2 makes it shift better IMO. Thats the reason why it's weighted.

the skunk2 knob looks good! i have the spoon black one myself and it feels like you are shifting a broom handle. it's cool nontheless. i want that new spoon one though. it's so shiney

im running with the black duracon also! love it! and i did think the stock shift knob was a wee bit bulky. and like everybody else, the skunk2 did get a little of my attention also!! but i couldnt pass on $45 for the spoon duracon!! ;)

indeed spoon needs to do some updating in there looks department. sw38s look like the old ass fitapaldi 5 star rims on old ass ferraris
doesnt go well with the new car looks.

the new spoon titanium shift knob is nice but i heard its fragile.

spoon's ok, but im not feelin it on an EP. as of the skunk2, it looks good also, but if you really wanna go on straight JDM style, why not get the DC2-R shift knob? jus my .02

I wasn't too into the spoon knob either, in pics it looks bulky and kinda nasty.... thing is though I got it for christmas, and its so nice I kept it... its REALLY light, great feeling, and way smaller than I imagined. It looks hot in the car with the SS kit.

tell you the truth... i like how the stock knob feels compared to the skunk2... i just can't feel the weighted difference... but i must admit... the skunk2 looks soooooooooo much cooler... and the spoon one is not my cup of tea...

Just curious, how can a solid lump of titanium be considered fragile?

It is not solid, it is completely hollow.
It's crazy, feels almost like a ping pong ball when you tap it.
Thats how light and thin it feels.

I have it on my car, doesn't feel fragile at all.
I think some people have F#$%ed up the threads taking it off and on improperly, showing their friends how cool and light it is.

Honda sells a shift boot adapter (a little plastic piece that clips onto the chrome ring, that fits inbetween the knob and the boot) for about $10
