I use both the Voodoo and the Spoon Ti. I've been using the Spoon Ti a whole lot more lately (daily driving) because it is hollow and the temperature transfer is quick: on a hot day the knob cools to the touch - same on a cold day.

The Voodoo does sit a tad lower than the Spoon Ti - I use the Voodoo on aggressive drives taking advantage of the feel from the extra weight.

I'd replace the Voodoo in a heartbeat with the original ARC Ti knob - I think it sits even lower than the Voodoo

I put the pearl aluminum in mine. It matches the 04+ trim really well. I think I paid around $70 with the gears engraved. I forgot. I also got the smaller one which he doesn't offer any more. All the new ones are slightly bigger.

BTW, when I installed my first one, the numbers were upside down. Instead of putting something in the hole, I cut a little off the threads with a dremel tool. It was so much nicer so when I got my new S, I cut even more off the threads. Now my knob is threaded all the way down to the part that gets bigger on the stick and the throw is excellent! Really tight and even shorter than before.

hey guys. i really love gear shifters for some reason. i love the short shifters of the s2000 in particular. i had a B&M short shifter in my previous car integ GSR and i LOVED IT! but i was just wondering... do the voodoo shift knobs feel that great?? i was looking at these at rick's and they looked really tyte for some reason.. and one inch lower! but why is titanium more than 3 times the price of other ones!! are they really worth the money for those of u guys have have these??
Not sure how similar it was to the Integra unit, but I put a B&M short shifter in my MR-2 Spyder and loved it too. Ultra short throws with a very positive feel. I originally bought an aluminum Voodoo for the S and it was a definite improvement over stock, but I ended up buying the Ti Voodoo to replace it just for the extra weight. The Ti feels very nice. The throws are still no where near as short as what the B&M provided on the Spyder. But the countersunk Voodoo shortened the throws just enough to make me happy with the action. And really, since the shifter (if you happen to have one that works properly anyway...) in the S is so smooth and light, and because it's a six speed with relatively close gates, I'm not so sure I'd really want it much shorter anyway. For me the Ti Voodoo matches with the shifter in the S really well.

I have used the original S2000 knob, the upgraded S2000 knob with leather, and the voodoo knob. All three for some length of time. I went back to the original and prefer it over the others.

I hate to say it (especially since mine is so modified) but I think one might start to prefer his/her car a little more stock over time..... don't tell anyone I said that
