"I want to start by pointing out how generous Eric is. I originally bought a used prototype shifter off Facebook Marketplace—not something meant for cars since prototypes are mainly for testing. Once Eric found out, he immediately told me to take it off and sent me a brand-new shifter with express delivery.

Even though there was a fee for the new shifter, it was never Eric’s fault that I bought one from the marketplace. In fact, I believe he genuinely wanted me to experience the real deal and see what Dark Matter is all about.

And let me tell you—the shifter is a complete game changer. It completely removes the cable setup, the shifts feel incredibly crisp, and the feedback makes driving so much more fun. It’s honestly the closest thing you can get to the STI shifting experience.

I have nothing but great things to say about both the pro"

"I have a 94 WRX from Japan whose shifter was on the outs, the bushings were shot, and I knew I needed a replacement. At this point I reached out to Erik to see if he thought the new one would fit into the GC chassis, and he said it would!

I ordered the Shifter during its production and the company kept us informed the whole way through and before the unit shipped Erik reached out to confirm the order and the unit arrived within a few days after that! The unit is extremely well built and solid, install was simple and straight forward with no issues to speak of.

The unit was an extremely import upgrade shifts are smooth crisp and quick, the shifter wants to go from 2-3 and 3-4 effortlessly and makes driving it very enjoyable. This is one of the best upgrades that I have done to my car after suspension work!!"
