Looks well built. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer an oem type shifter and not an 18 wheeler shifter sticking out of the center console lol.
You think the Honda shifter is to high ??? Look at the shifter in my Renault Megane RS :)

Thank you for sharing. That is an interesting shifter.. what would be the benefit using this type of shifter vs standard height?

Would it be for street or track applications?

Thank you

I use the Megane mostly for track (Nurburgring) , with a shorter shifter you got to reach further with your hand and with this big boy it's just near the steering wheel and it also gives a better feeling , it shifts a bit shorter and very precise..

I already got it in my car (first one that was build, same like in picture) and its a masterpiece. :)
Good to hear , some don't understand it's not for the looks but so much more fun to drive ,but if you never experienced it you don't understand :)
