Has anyone gotten one? Which one? Any other thoughts on them?

I don't get how to follow posts on this forum. I responded to this item today but can't find it now. What do mean by "which one"? I only know of one from Toyota - unless you want to faricate your own. They have minimal to no effect on performance. Just feels nicer than the 'mushy' stock shifter. People who have them seem to like them.
Do you know of a cheap source? I've seen $219 plus tax on-line.

I had one in an older prelude I had and I have to say it really makes the car feel sportier, you get shorter throws, and makes the shifts more crisp

I am contemplating the B&M shifter. It seems they are discontinuing it so alot of sites are selling them at a discounted price.
