    Im just rocking one for the hell of it, but if it slows down my shifts/affects me ie. makes shifting less efficient in a negative way then I can just sell the piece down the road. I like the novelty/funkyness of it but if the thing is no good for performance im not running it.
    Most floor shifters need a little more height, so the distance from the steering wheel to the shifter isnt as great.

    Absolutely NOT ! it is 100% a street fad on a EP3, it places the shifter in a position that is not as natural of a movement

    It sure is a novelty and most certainly is funky.....

    i think the shifter feels perfect in the stock location. just for shits n gigs it would be funny to mock up a foot long or more extender to look like one of those badass truck drivers. and you could even put a snake head knob on it for more lols

    I have one but i dont use it. i bought it used off a guy with a skunk2 knob. I hate how it looks and the fact that its a fad....i try and avoid these gimicky fads.

    For every day driving its in a very inconvenient spot. Every time i reach for the radio i smack it.

    Also, i feel like the extra leverage + the weight of the skunk knob cant be a good thing for the cables/bushings/syncros. The throw is increased obviously and because of the increased leverage, it creates a very dead feeling when shifting. I dont like that.

    The only positive for me was that there is absolutely no doubt about what gear you are in. You would have to be pretty special to get the wrong gear with it. Thats not really a problem i ever have anyways, so i cant justify using it.

    But hey, if you like all this sort of stuff, give it a shot.

    i liked my shifter extension, but it doesnt look well with my shift knob, it makes my shift throw longer which bothered me b/c i was looking for a shorter throw lol
