I guess he knew that I had class in the evening, he showed up here around 1:30 with my short shifter!

If I didn't have class I'd have it on the car right now.

I'll probably put it on sometime around midnight when I have free time.

ditto... the next thing I recommend for your car is taking it into a pro detailer and getting a power polish, I got quoted $300cad for my car, and it removes a lot of scratches and swirl marks, then they buff it to get all the oxidization off, then wax it... it will resurrect your paint to look as new. even with crazy mileage you can still have gorgeous paint :D

I got it from EBstores on Ebay. I'm going to put it in now... I'll keep you posted.

I need an updated picture of my car. My headlight housings are black now... I'm only going to take pictures of the "good side"... where the paint isn't bubbling and cracking.

What kind did you get? I ended up the Hurst shifter and I thought it was well worth it. I was brand new and not too much at all. Lets us know how it goes with yours. Trust me man it makes a world of difference. :thumbsup

Oh, it made a world of difference!

It was the T6 Short Shifter 4 Talon/Eclipse... EB was the brand.

Sweet, that will be the one I will go with down the road. Is it any shorter height wise compared to stock? If so, any pics of it installed?

Yes, about an inch or so shorter. Sorry, no pics as of yet.

I unfortunately need to take it off because I put it on too tight. I'll grease that thing up. (Yes, I tightened the pivot shaft too much)

EDIT: Fixed it now... holy crap it's freekin' awesome! Feels just like the B&M.

Here's a link to this shifter on ebay...

UPS man sucks. I checked my tracking status this morning (mind you my UDP was scheduled to be delivered yesterday, and was rescheduled for today) and see that the idiots left my package behind at the facility "EXCEPTION", so I still won't get it today! bastards!
