Nice custom shifter. I was wondering I would see the finished product. Thats a pretty good deal. Make sure you get some shifter bushings as well. At least get the frong, but the rear is nice also, just takes some time to get it in.
Kartboy is cheap and their quality is anything but...install on the shifter is piece of cake. The bushings are a bit more difficult since you have to be under the car, but it is nothing impossible. I was a complete noob when I installed the front and rear bushings and after a few hours of frusteration, I was able to get it done without issues.
I've had good luck with the kartboy. However I don't have an STI so I can't coment on the shifter for it.
We carry both Kartboy and Cobb. Let us know and I will get you a package quote with busings or just the shifter alone.
Kartboy is awsome just put it in my car love it I also have the shifter bushings and TIC Pivot Bushings look into it but I love it super short and zero play stiff and positive throws. Hope that helps I got mine at rallysport.com
