Default Finally got my OBX shift **** and floormats!

I know this post is pointless without pics, hopefully I can get some up soon, but I got my OBX shiftknob and floormats for my birthday this past weekend. Both are definite improvements. The shift **** looks nice, I got the ball one without the mesh on it.

Anyways, next cosmetic thing I buy will be the Door Sills and possibly the pedal covers.....

I personally think OBX is crap but hey whatever makes you happy , your car, your style right?

How much did you get them for? Cause you definatly dont want to know the wholesale price of them.

That's the same **** that I've got. I've got the pedal too! If you have the cool blue/amber interior illumination, it's gonna make your stainless steel pedal look really pretty. Yeah, my next step is door sill protector and mud guard.

The OBX alum ball shift **** is on par with Momo *****... I know, because I have both.

For $35, you cannot go wrong with the Scion OBX *****.

Although $35 is a nice price... there are better shift ***** comparable if not way better than the OBX for much less.



RÄZO shift ***** are precision crafted in Japan and are perfectly weighted for positive shift feel. Do not confuse these with cheap imitations! RÄZO shift *****. These are made of high quality aluminum and offer a comfortable grip and feel.

I bought my Razo Ball RA21 shifter from SuperAutobacs for $20. Looks really nice in person..with engraved Razo logo.

Well, i got the ball shift **** also. It's all about looks, it looks a lot better than the stock shift ****, and I think it looks better than post above me ^^^^^^

I also have an automatic, so it's not like i'm handling my ball too often ;)

It looks good, installed in about 2 minutes, amtches the interior pretty nicely also.

It was cheap...got it for my B-day, but I know my parents got it from Partznet.com

Think I'm going to bypass the pedals for now. As I said only an automatic, and the pedals are BARELY seen, even by me.


It's the one in the middle:

I actually like the OBX a lot more than the Razo.

and lets be honest its a metal ball. its not like rims or springs. My cousing ran his honda for 5 years with tennis ball screwed onto his stick.

All this precision weighted BS is like my GF buying $90 handlebars for a $250 mountain bike.

totally unneccessary.

Well put ;)

I have a couple precision weighted ***** permanently mounted between my legs....

It's all about looks, I like the OBX better than the others...I'm sure there will be another one that comes along and I'm like WOW, that's nice. But for now, I like mine
