It's more about the function of the Voodoo **** than what it looks like. Looks are subjective. I like the look of the stock ****, but I also like the look of the Voodoo **** in its own right.
However, if you tried actually shifting with the Voodoo ****, you'd know right away that it feels better. That, to me, is more important than looks.

How 'bout making our own? I've got a few designs going, got the go ahead from some buddies. How does T-7071 billet on a Hardinge CNC, stainless threadserts with hard anodizing sound? I bet we could bring the price down with the quantities...

I would be interested, especially if it was round like the Voodoo, but heavier. I would also like it if it was slightly larger.
They do make the Magnum sized Voodoo *****...which is what i prefer as well. More weight makes it feel better.

I have the regular aluminum and really don't have a problem, but I have heard that the titanium is cooler as it doesn't conduct heat as easily. Much more expensive though. If you keep the **** shaded, it really isn't an issue. Just put a hat or glove or something over it if the car is going to be sitting in the sun. And always keep your windows cracked just an inch or so. That really helps the hot air escape and makes more of a difference than you'd think.

I'm bringing a thread back from the dead.
Most of you that have purchased the Voodoo shift **** have purchased the pearl finish.
Has anyone purchased the spun finish? Is there a comparison somewhere?
I've seen pics of the two different ***** and I'm just trying to get an idea of maybe how different they might feel. Will the pearl get slippery at all with a full day of driving in the warm weather? Will the spun leave oil prints from your hands because it doesn't have the coating of the pearl?
Thanks in advance for the insight.

Ive had the pearl magnum for more than 6 months now and I still LOVE it. It is VERY sexy and matches the rest of the silver in the interior perfectly. Its a great addition to any RP short shifter hehe

Thanks for posting the pics of the piano black as I have been considering one of these to compliment the piano black trim in the Shinka. Is the **** pictured the larger size VooDoo ****? It seems a bit bigger in diameter than I remember.

Well, we do need something to do on those long drives.Seriously, the finish is worn on the silver part on the left side of the triangle near the point. I noticed that when I am driving around casualy I have a tendancy to shift into 3rd and 5th by simply using my thumb to move the shifter. Hitting that exact spot so much has worn through the finish. I like the look of the rotor **** that I doubt I will go to something different. Maybe the Mazdaspeed ****.
