Hurst Shifter or Factory?
When I bought my Vette, it already had a Hurst shifter in it. But part of me feels like I want the car to look more factory.
What do you guys think, replace it with a factory shifter or keep the Hurst?

That's the only picture I could find. All you would be buying is the new new shift lever down to where it attaches to the shifter with 2 bolts. The entire shifter remains intact. The "t" handle is for looks.

Anyone know if the length of this look-alike shifter is comparable to the factory shifter?
And how much of a pain will this be to replace?
Here is the one Im considering:

Looks good. I just want to make sure I get the right version. Black **** or chrome. I like the chrome though...[/QUOTE]
The Chrome **** is the stock OEM from the factory for your year. Glad your keeping the hurst you will get better shifts & w/the factory shifter it will look cool.

hurst shifts much nicer then stock. Mine had Hurst shifter with t handle when i got it and i replaced with the black **** replica t. I had to bend my shifter handle a bit as it did not line up good when i got it but after that it was easy ro install.
