pre order now?

I wish, release is sometime in December.

less than 30 days possibly, not too soon in my eye.

I hope this becomes available soon!

They're in production currently. The release is a bit later than we'd originally hoped, currently looking like the first couple weeks of Jan.

Side note: we made some critical improvements over the prototypes that you're seeing reviews on, including further reduced throw, improved wear-resistance, improved noise-reduction measures, and a stiffer frame.

Oh man, this looks sweet! Russ has sent me a few bushings to test fit on my 7th gen EX, and even just the base shifter bushings fit directly as intended and significantly improved my shifting experience; I aboslutely love Acuity products. Can't wait to get through engineering school and buy my 10th gen (Si or Type R depending on my job and markups) to install this stuff! Looks really great-- three semesters to go!

Does the full shifter kit include bushings for the shifter and trans? Or is there anything we need to buy additionally for the full experience? Looking forward to giving you my money!

The only things you'd really need after the shifter are linkage bushings (1881). We are really partial to barrel-shaped knobs for performance driving, so we would normally pair this with an ESCO knob and a shift boot collar. Note that we'll have the ESCOs in some new colors (teal and purple) soon.

Thanks! I'll look into getting the linkage bushings too. They always make a difference!

I have a custom 490 gram Flossy knob. Yours look great just not my style for shifting. Looking forward to the release!

We have a price point yet?

We've been saying mid 400's and still expect that to be accurate. Unfortunately, we typically don't know final pricing ourselves until a week or two before launch.

Right now it's a waiting game. We are awaiting deliveries from our machine shops so that we can begin QC and assembly. We just recently got ETA updates, and it looks like we are pushing into the latter half of this month. Can't wait to show you guys the little tweaks we made since the prototypes that everyone has seen.
