the cr sits lower than stock, but not as low as the voodoos. imo, it's significantly lighter than stock, but has enough mass so that it doesn't vibrate around too much. i'm not sure how big it is in comparison to the voodoo knob, but the cr knob is significantly smaller than popular cue ball size/shaped shift knobs.

Yep, I got the Civic Type-R knob (like people said, same as CR but in red lettering):



I didn't install the locking nut so the knob sits even lower.

I had a Voodoo knob for a while. Didn't like it and I eventually went back to my AP1 knob. The spherical shape just isn't comfortable for me. YMMV.

How hard is the installation? I remember it was a pain to remove the stock shit knob off the 350z. For some reason, they used loctite so it made the process hard.

Ive owned many knobs before from ALEX to ARC, but the CR is the best one suited for me. It fits firmly in my hand and gives me more control while shifting.

I too had a shift knob that had been applied with Loctite Blue. After trying every wrench combination imaginable to prevent scratching things up, I decided to nuke the sucker with a heat gun. It worked, but the temperature had to reach those near the surface of the Sun. Make sure you insulate the surrounding areas and a rapidly accelerating torque seemed to work best in breaking the adhesion. Clean the threads with a powerful solvent, but here again be very careful where you apply it or it will remove the finish on virtually anything. Oh, BTW avoid the fumes while working in the car, but hey, here's another virtue for having a convertible!
