Spoon's Titanium ****. 16grams takes approximately 4 seconds to go from anything to hand temperature.It looks cool, but I've already got 1 $100 shift ****, I don't need another yet.
No thanks..........not one of the better looking ones IMO. 
First why would you pay a $100 for a name, I can see in boilermakers case he probably wants a lighter one for racing. But the mugen is just a name and why do they put this on there " this high quality traditional style shift **** ensures precise shifts every time" How is this thing going to ensure your shifting

And the Mugen posted doesn't look good IMHO.

(Hint: Have some ice cubes ready.)Having had an aluminum **** before the Ti one, it never got hot enough to cause any discomfort since. Cold was a different story, but within 2 or 3 minutes of starting the car, it was fine. Anyone who rules a **** out because it was made of metal, I don't know what to tell you. The time you spend with it being hot or cold is probably about the same as the steering wheel. Compare that to all the time you spend in the car, its not much.
