Well, the shift **** finally came in today! I had ordered the black oxide one but I got an email from the company a couple days after I had ordered it stating that they had none left. They gave me an option of waiting 3 weeks for them to make more or to just pick from one of their more expensive painted ones for the same price. I picked the color that was closest to black as possible which turned out to be this twilight sparkle color. IMO, it looks pretty cool.
The **** itself weighs 1lb 4oz, and you could definitely feel it. It is a very weighty shift **** and it feels great in your hand. Installation is pretty easy, screw off, screw on, and no need to align anything since there is nothing engraved on it. I drove around for a little bit today, and I have to say it feels great. Ergonomically, the shape feels great in your hand and shifts feels smoother. It almost feels like its a shorter throw, probably a placebo effect, but still feels good.
Essentially, it is pretty much a replica of the TK ****. I've never really seen or held a TK **** in person so I can't really comment on the similarities in weight, but I assume it is pretty close.
In conclusion, I think it was a 100 bucks well spent. Personally, I am happy with the purchase and recommend it to others who want that TK **** feel without having to spend close to 300 dollars to attain it. Hope this little write up helped anyone looking to buy. If anyone's got any questions, I'll try my best to answer.

Yea, they took it off as soon as I ordered. They must've realized they didn't have any left after I submitted the order. I think they have some painted ones though. It would probably be a good idea to email them directly and see what kind of selection they have.

I actually made one of these about 2+ years ago for myself. I took the dimensions of a TK that a friend had and had it fabbed up in a machine shop out of 404SS, weighed a little over 2lbs. It was a heavy *****.
I tried to get some interest built at the time as an indication to have a handful more built, but nothing much came of it.
but yeah, this shape of **** is excellent, gives a good contact patch to push for those of us with large hands, and a good lip to pull on for the 2,4, 6 shifts
