Yeah it really looks nice, i'm liking it. I'm going to have to do some comparison shopping here. I also do not want to spend 100+ on a shift **** either. That money could go to some nice new tires

Cool...but you know polakgraphics sells a real (genuine) leather shift boot for less than $81....$50 IIRC. It will also ship alot faster to the states ( I know you're from Germany, so I don't know if japanparts ships to their faster).

Thanks for the heads up but I'm not worried about the $30 difference

Mazdaspeed shift **** FTW!

I only like it with my short shifter, though. When I had it on the stock throw shifter, it felt..... wrong. That's just me being a weirdo.
