Default Review of ebay carbon shifter

I recently purchased a carbon fiber shift **** from ebay. I have included a pic. It is a pretty good looking piece. And the price was right about 15 bucks with shipping. I figured if it sucked I could toss it. Its really nice except for one thing. It sits about 3/4 of an inch higher than stock. It makes the shifter feel like a truck. So I would not recommend it unless you could live with that. Here's a pic.

Do you know if the real Momo ones sit higher, lower, or the same as the stock shifter?

Would everybody quit saying "shifter" when they're talking about shift *****???????

I keep getting excited by thread titles thinking someone came out with a CF or Ti shifter.

Oh, and no, it's not real carbon fiber. It's "carbon look" print.

Look for pm's on my next couple hundred thread titles. Thanks for choosing to be my new executive editor; Here's the new title I present for your submission.

*Review of Synthetic Composite Fabric Style Transmission Actuator Handle from Ebay.

You should really have that checked out. Getting excited by a shift lever is a little strange.

I didn't mean it personally, but I appreciate the response nonetheless. It's nice to see something written in an articulate manner from time to time.

Since I'm your executive editor now, it's "eBay," not "Ebay."

Just friendly humor. I capitalize the first letter of proper names. Also, to get technical its ebay. We were both wrong.

I never noticed that before.

ebay

ebaY?

You know what, I'm going to stick with the standard form of English and capitalize the first letter of a proper name. I really don't care for all this post-modern crap. Its a fad.
