I've started to notice that after 1,200 miles, the shift knob feels so light to me now. Maybe it's me getting used to driving stick, but I feel like I need a heavier shift knob now...

Just picked up the Slammer shift knob from @Raceseng raceseng.com and its amazing! At first thought it may be too heavy, but after a day of using it, I absolutely love it. Picked up their reverse lockout too to replace the stock plastic one. They sell both in a package for a discount. HIGHLY recommend.

Removed Subaru and BRZ texts from trunk and installed (Ebay) diffuser.

Also bought some sound deadening mat to get rid of few annoying rattles and vibrations even it adds a few pounds of weight..

I will try to get those few pounds of from myself so total weight will remain the same.

I was actually looking at that combo but with an Ashiko shift knob. Is it worth it? I think total came out to around $200.

Let me know if you have videos and/or pics!

Sure thing. Here's a pic of my set up with it. (Sorry for bad quality. Had to zoom in a lot. Damn high quality iohone camera. Haha) I definitely think it's worth it. Their quality is incredible and it feels so much better than the stock setup. Could always return it if you really don't like it.

One word of advice... If you get it, be sure to read instructions regarding set screw with the shift knob. My busy got his stuck in the knob and now it's upside down.

I absolutely love that set up. I think I may go for that same reverse lock out and an Ashiko shift knob. I've been looking at that for a while now. It looks great with the Series.Blue.

Thanks for the picture!
