I've been watching for a B&M for a good price, and came across this one that's a buy-it-now for only $34. it's chromed instead of alumn., but wondering besides that if there's any other differences that would make saving so much money worth it.

Geez n00b, use the search. :cover:

[Goldie]

soooooorry... must have been tired. I was thinking Cosmo was the name of the seller... hadn't even thought to search it out as a brand.

but think I'll get either a fidanza or b&m

:rofl: I keed, I keed. I can tell you this much though, I love my B&M, the feel on it is fantastic.

[Goldie]

yeah - at the last NW meet, I played with Snowboarders shifter. :naughty:

Hehe, looks like Goldie's gonna have to wait for the next auction on these. ;)

I have a B&M and love it. All i can say on this subject is,"You get what you pay for."

thats right, i paid for a 35$ shifter and got a 35$ shifter that has lasted for 3 years so far. everyone is entitled to their opinion but mine is that with B&M all you get for your extra money is a brand name.

[mond12345]

That is true paying for some of the name. Like you said, everyone has their own opinion.

here we go with this argument again:banghead:

I should get the shifter in the next few days, and probably put it in next weekend. I'll be sure to post what I think of it.

Oh, I should be able to put my stock shift knob on it, right?

of course not... that aftermarket shifter requires a custom drilled 8-ball knob with a flaming skull on it... duhhh:crazy:
