I just put this shift **** on, it is 1 lb in weight (I think that is actually heavier than the stocker). The one I have is black chrome finish, it is also available in regular chrome finish. What do you think?

 

where did you get the carbon fiber inlay from, please let me know?

 

Nothing beats the stock shift **** imo

 

I don't care for the looks of the H-pattern print and I HATE metal shift *****!

How does it compare to stock, shift feel wise?

 

I bought the set 4 years ago, I think it was Carbon Creations that made it.

 

It's quite balanced. Like I said, the shift **** weighs slightly over a pound. It makes the shift very smooth.

 

A lot of shift **** talk in the 3rd Gen forums today. Who makes that ****?

 

looks nice..if it was silver, that might have looked better..

 

Here is the chrome one.

 

It's home made.

 

I beg to differ I used to have the original stocker, but the RX8 **** is much better. Good balance and weight, and goes well with the stock interior...

 

 

The rx8 **** looks like it sits really high compared to stock

 

It does alittle...but you can modify it a bit....

 

Why does it not have a 5th gear?

 

Not that high that I would notice. If anything, I would say at most, 1/2 inch more than stock. I just love the shape and weight... shifting is much more precise too.

 

It does, it's just the picture resolution.

 

The stock one is excellent, although I do like my mazdaspeed shifter a bit more. Seems to fit my hands better.

 

I was wondering if the masses had an opinion on shift *****. I need to replace mine( falling apart in my hands) and have narrowed it down to a Mazdaspeed Shift **** vs. an OEM RX-8 Shift ****. Has anyone had any experiences with either of these?
