There is only one Junk yard in arlington, VA and it is not even that big.

FYI for anyone wanting the skunk 2- there was a skunk2 that I was watching on ebay but missed out on bidding before it ended... anyhow I emailed the guy to ask him how much he'd let it go for and this was his reply...

This is for a BRAND NEW Skunk2 shift knob. This shift knob will fit any '87-2004 Honda or Acura. These are the newer models, made from Stainless Steel with a gunmetal finish.

If you would like to purchase one, please send $37.95 plus $5.85 shipping to:

juiced316@yahoo.com through Paypal, or

if you'd prefer to use money order, reply to this email with your address and state that you'd like to do so, and I'll send the shift knob(s) out when the payment arrives. I send these out the same day or the day after payment arrives, depending on the time.

I use only USPS Priority Mail, which arrives anywhere in the US from 1-2 days. A tracking number will be provided with every shipment, and insurance is an optional $.89.

Feel free to contact me at juiced316@yahoo.com (this email address). Thanks a lot.

That's a good idea, it's a pain in the ass to line up the nut and knob perfectly... but it might be tougher to remove the knob since I do so pretty frequently.

The Skunk2 is a pretty heavy knob... I liked it and it's pretty affordable, that price above-if it's legit- is a good price!

I decided to go with th Type R "Style" shift knob. I am having trouble choosing where to order from.

http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...m=110&back=yes

http://www.speedpeople.com/cart/deta...eedpeople.com/

http://racerwheel.com/rt000226.html

http://racerwheel.com/rt000227.html


The only problem is that on the first 2 links it says the color is a titanium look but it looks completly different then the titanium look on the third link. The first 2 links looks like a silver look knob the 4th link has. Which one should I order? Are the ones on the first 2 links going to look like the one on the 3rd link?

Again.... Lord Have Mercy!!!

When you were a kid, did you ever play with the toy where you place the round pegs in the round holes... the square pegs in the square holes... etc.

Will this is kind of the same... compare what you want to what's available and find the two that match.

To help you out a bit the 2nd and 4th link look like a pretty damn good match to what you want.
