I feel like the weight is perfect. Just waiting for acuity's short shifter.

Do you feel like it can be heavier? I'm glad we don't have to pay for that extra part.

So to remove it, you have to press on the boot below the plastic ring and pull it down? Thanks!

You will feel the two tabs on the plastic insert inside the boot. Mine were positioned front and back (not side to side). Squeeze them together really good then just tug down.

They are pretty close in size. Not sure measurements.

Oh wow! It's actually a lot smaller than I was thinking (looks slightly bigger than original).

Thanks for the pictures! Really helped

No problem. Definitely feels better though to me.

Definitely! The leather wrapped part on the original feels so cheap. I feel like it's all plastic underneath. Post pics when you get the short shifter! I'm very interested in that as well.

Soon as it's available I'll be buying it trust me. That is a quality product from them.

Finally 3rd time being the charm, got a bodyshop to install my front lip that I had painted black. 2 hondas wouldn't do it.

Did you paint yourself? If so what did you use? I just ordered mine here at work yesterday along with the side skirts. Debating if I want to paint it first or install in red and see how I like it.
