Was reading through the install, and it looks pretty simple. Only real fun thing will be adjusting it so that it fits into the gears properly, but other than that, it should go in relatively easy.
I just dont know now what my next upgrade will be. Im thinking clutch kit and retro headlights, but a solid case has been made for cam/lifters/springs.....
How is calgary doing today after their big win on saturday? Everyone happier now that the Flamers have finally won a game?

I went with the gunmetal M1 Abrams weighted knob with laser etching. it looks sexy, as it just showed up a few mins ago. and heavy as **** too
Edit. Guys opinions:
"So i need some male opinions I suppose. Woman wants to get some sexy boudiour pictures taken and came across a pretty good deal that her and her friends can get from a photographer. My question is, am I in the wrong for voicing that I am uncomfortable with the fact that the photographer is a guy.... and I can imagine when I look at said pictures, that I wouldnt be able to get over the fact that another guy was taking almost nude pictures of my woman, rather than enjoy the sexy nature of the photograh themselves?"

i think i would get the type r or the m1 abrams but it would have to be in pearl black..... i am surprised you didnt choose pearl white....
as for the pics.... if the photographer is professional he or she is professional.... if they are shady they are shady.... i think thats the best question....

I didnt like the white, because nothing inside the car is white. Its all dark trim with some beige pieces. I went with the gunmetal because it fit in and matched what I wanted. I considered the black pearl one, but the shiny nature of it would drive me crazy with regards to fingerprints and small scratches/swirls. The brushed finish on the gunmetal was definitely the one that I was most pleased with. And seeing it in person confirmed that fact. You will see it when I bring my car to you
As for the photographer, he is a free-lance photographer that one of her friends uses professionally on contract jobs, but he is still a hobby photographer doing these shoots on the side. I think if I go with, which she did say was what she wanted, that I might be ok. And it could help start building that trust, and letting me break down the wall. Or it could backfire completely, and Ill be back on the single train soon enough. Haha we will see.

I hadnt even thought of that either Mark... I mentioned it to her, and we are exploring a couple other options as well for female photographers as well. I might have her talk with Kass, since they met last week. Thanks for throwing that out there.

as for the knob well in times when i find myself to say when there is nothing white on the interior even when i drive a white car..... its time we put some white on the interior...... lol pearl white dash trim.... would have looked sweet with a pearl white shift knob..... thats just me....

I could order a few lol and change it up depending on my mood! But I like the darker interior and your other options for some trim...

the sky is the limit...... however some options need to be ordered..... its really completely up to you.... i know i could probally match your current shifter knob but i need to order a certain amount.... unfortunately for the amount you want the chances arent good on getting it..... i would have to order like at least 50 yrds..... you need like 3 ft lol...... but there are many great colors and textures to choose..... maybe pm me what your ideas are so i could get a better idea of what you want.....
