Waiting on my Hartge Shift Knob

I just ordered my Hartge shift knob a couple days ago and should be delivered today from www.turnermotorsport.com. Cant wait. i use to drive an 2006 Evo MR SE that had a very similar shift knob, didnt like it at first because it had a tendency to get hot or cold depending on the temp. But man did this thing feel good when rowing through the gears. Does anyone else here have this knob or something similar? Thanks!

Knob came in this afternoon and OMG!!! What a difference from stock. I love it, shifting is much more fluent and precise, reminds me of the Evo, just slides into the slot. I have read about the Whalen knob, but was concerned as I read other threads on how heavy it was.

Let me know what you think of it. I put 50 miles on the car today after I got out of work and installed the knob, couldn't pull myself away!
