Default Ugh! OBX junk

i just discovered the OBX speed star shift ***** sold at Scion dealerships are knock-offs of the MOMO Sphere ****. I hate having imitation stuff, especially when the legit model isnt that much more. i bet the chrome on the MOMO **** doesnt flake/peel like the OBX konb. i guess the positive is the OBX **** has bases that fit the tC shift rod cleanly.

OBX


MOMO Sphere

its available in black or silver, metal, mesh, or leather, and different rings.

i'm gonna put my obx **** on ebay and get a greddy counterweighted one.

Is there any way to get the finished look of the OBX? Thats my only reason for not replacing mine, I hate that you can see inside that little chrome ring. Pictures would be appreciated, I already looked in the official shift **** thread.

Well you have to consider its double the price. It probly more expensive at the dealer but you can find OBX shift ***** online for 35-40$ before shipping. So you do get what you pay for and you get a good fit.
