Becareful - you get what you pay for. I know people who purchased short shifters on Ebay and it broke whille driving!

I have a Skunk2 double bend and it's top of the line quality.

I put a gsr dual bend shifter in my civic....I like oem things h:

however the truth is I am just a cheap ass and dont wanna fork out a 100 for shifter. I wouldn't get any shifters from ebay however. If I were to get a nicer shifter it would be skunk2 dual bend

I've actually heard of a lot of them breaking. just the welds or something aren't good and let loose easily.
