Default 350Evo Shift **** Review

Not sure if this has been released yet or not but i will post my review of the the ****. Ive had it for 8 hour now and have been driving for 4 of them. I love the Feel of this Shift **** and its plain (race style) look it adds to the decorum. its just a black delron or urethane shift **** similar to the Nismo one however i was told will be offered in any color. with the price Set at around $25 you cant beat it. Not the mention even in direct sunlight the **** never gets as hot as my leather or my metal shift ***** on any of my cars. out of 10 i would rate it a 9 overall.
Comfort - 9 (at least its not Hot) im sure the Delron will grow on me this willbe my first one... Just couldnt ctand the stock any longer.
Positive Shift Feel - 10
Style - 9 i like the shape but a lil insignia at the bottom to show off 350Evo would help... if your into that otherwise it fits well.
Color - 10 matches my stock dash perfect
Affordability - 10
Ease of Me getting It- 10 i live down the street from the shop
I am snapping pictures soon
just dont worry ill post in a hurry

Looks nice. Reminds me more of a ball hitch than a shifter, but I'm sure it's well made. Could 350EVO print or stamp the shift pattern in the top though? I'm pretty confident I'm not going to forget it, but I think it'd look more OEM and might help out someone who hasn't driven a Z before. Only my opinion, but I think that'd help the looks a bit, and I'd like to see a subtle 350EVO around the bottom, too. Thanks for the pics and news.

about damn time someone made a shift **** that was shorter than the stock shifter and round like a ball. Those little twig shifters that are out there like the nismo ones don't have enough meat on them to grab with the top of your palm IMO.

These being symetrical makes my day too - I don't want the shift pattern cause then you have to spend forever trying to loosen and tighten it via trial and error to align it up to face the right way. My stock shifter is currently facing backwards because I got so damn sick of trying to align it and finally said screw it, backwards is good enough.

Also thta urethane material is great. IMO it doesn't look the nicest, but oh well. At least it's lightweight, doesn't burn your hand and should last awhile. And finally glad to see a shift **** that isn't overly expensive. I never understood why the nismo ***** cost as much as they do.

I know for sure they intend on making more when that will come i do not know. i would recommend calling them and telling BJ that you saw pics and were interested in them. they do have one left in stock its a bright orange color. they come in just about any color and i think custom colors are just a little more expensive. not 100%. but i would just recommend calling.
