Base model 5 speed short throw

Name: Alex Helm
Location: Pittsburgh
Means of Contact: PM/in here
Item you're looking for/trading: just looking for a short throw for my LS. Cosmo won't have them in stock for another month they said and really don't want to wait that long. Other brands are an option. I've got $90 chillin in my Paypal so I'm looking to spend right around that much.
If not, I'll just wait.

Thanks guys!

I liked my TWM on my old base model, the position was a little odd and forward, but I got used to it quickly, wish I would of pulled it before I traded it in. I would of sold it to you

Back in the day, eBay STS for caveys were genuine Cosmo STS'. They've since been cracking down on them and now you can't get them anymore just weird ones like spec.
