This is absolutely retarded for an automatic.
While I agree that there's absolutely no benefit with an AT, the OP was not specifically looking for a weighted ****. Just looking for something different that fit our cars. It just so happened that the one he liked was weighted (see quoted post below)

wasn't feeling the mxp ****, so I went for this ****
it just happened to be weighted, which wasn't a driving factor for me to get it

i'll just shed a few pounds to compensate for weight then
I think it looks good that people are looking around and shows what options are out there for us. Thanks for posting your findings!

I think you could use some lessons in etiquette.

I'm pretty sure our IS-F's can handle the added weight of these shift *****... it being a giant v8 and all... your mama ever teach you that if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all?

from the excitement of driving an isf, sometimes I miss the shift into drive because i'm so eager to put it into gear and spend, not waste, $20 on tire tread (each time)
so, the weighted **** compensates for my unskilled shifting technique

I saw it on eBay sometime ago when looking for a shift **** to match my white interior, it looks nice, congrats!

Now, is this a real titanium shift **** or just titanium look? Titanium should be very light, and by the comments above it's sounds like it's heavy.
