Review of my F-Sport shift knob
 
Heres my review:

Wow!..... I must say very nice!!! The shift seems quicker and faster! Crispier too not to mention. Especially downshifts, it revmatches now unlike my old oem one. I can definitely feel the power now, the way the engine sends the power to the transmission. Wow! Im speechless. Since its carbon fiber, it feels way lighter! I think i could throw the car in any direction i want without feeling the weight! Also the carbon fiber really accentuates interior!
I would rate it 5/5!!!
Worth the buy!
Best bang for the buck!
Feels like a new car again!
Almost like a tune!

Greatest thing I've seen all day. Thanks for the review.

Mine must have been faulty when I put it on, ended up blowing my transmission (that's the truth). Looks good with the CF trim, I wrapped mine gloss black.

Well the real story is I went down to "Mexico" and did some stupid things and the pump in the tranny went out. But I did have the fsport shift knob on so I'm sure it had something to do with it. LMAO

I have the F-Sport shift knob too. One of the easiest and nicest looking modifications that can be done. :thumbup:

i like the CF trim! Is it a lot or did you just wrap it? What did the knob run?

You shouldn't be, it will go down that low:thumbup: I'm wondering why the stitching on yours is black not blue:confused:

I think it's the lighting of the pics. Looks pretty blue to me in the first pic

it's the stock similar to the F Sport Packaged model one? or is it the same
