Default Cant Decide Which Shift **** to Buy

Evo-R Titanium or Nismo GT Titanium
They both look awesome

evo-r if you have more interior work done, Nismo if your interior is stock. both are nice.

I've had both in the Z. started with a chrome nismo then the nismo gt then switched to the evo-r...IMO the evo-r is going to look better since you've changed out you're radio. It'll look good with the lights from the deck reflecting off of it. Both fit in the hand exactly the same. and get the home depot rubber finisher asap because both look like a$$ when installed without it.

I prefer a ball shaped shift **** that fits the palm of the hand. I would think the styles in question are for the guys that grip their shifters like a hammer; which I don't

it's hard for me to imagine why anyone would replace stock Z shift **** for an aftermarket ones. stock z shift **** is the best out there.

why would you want to pay money for something that(beside looking cool but not practical):
1) slippery
2) burning stick during hot summer afternoon

That third picture is my car.. it's not the Evo-r ****.. it's actually the UTR Version 1 Titanium ****.. Jay@Evo-r decided to make a knock off..

I had it for a while and I have the big Tommy K **** on my car now.. It's not as pretty IMO but it improves your driving feel and I much prefer it now.

Out of the three i'd go with the Burnt Ti **** now as for my favorite I love the Nismo ***** ****. I've had it for 4 years now. It might not be the flashy but it works!
