that does nothing but give less shift leverage.

Short shifter geometry isnt just hacking up the shaft.

That does absolutly nothing. It doesnt shorten throws, all you are doing is making it look better.

its winter here so the floor is always a little dirty, and its constantly minus 10c out, if you want to get out there and clean it properly go for it. lol. I jsut did the buy it now feature and told them waht I wanted. the orange stiching was a custom order. jsut email them about it. and it was super easy to install.
not gonna cut my shifter, short throw is only 150 or so dollars and looks sweet.
thanks for the comments guys!
