The model I have (same as pictured above except mine is the polished version) actually shortens the auto shifter a tad.
Good point! BTW, very nice interior..

Look at the line that divides the ashtray and the climate control.


These are all very nice shift *****. I am just suggesting that they are taller when adding the shift adapter device, not that there is anything wrong wth that at all. You can see the differences between all of these

That is the nicest interior I've ever seen in a C5. Not too much or over the top, just right
