The only place that is still in business is Forbidden Motorsports, but good luck getting one from them... Worse customer service than Tegiwa :roll:

Your best option is to modify an OEM one or hope for a second hand one I'm afraid.

Performance aftermarket parts for a lesser known Honda model that never had a TypeR edition? That's probably one reason :P

Isn't most of this hidden underneath a gaitor anyway?

yeah i probably will, or as Rob has said i might modify a stock shifter :)

I wanted to go for the stripped out look with no gaiter etc which is why i wanted a smart looking one but i might have to have a rethink.
