Default MGW shifter installed!

So ive had my 03 Z for 2 weeks now, and the first thing i had to do was get rid of that stock shifter

so i picked up the MGW and a delrin C5R style ****. i got the MGW today, and installed it as soon as i got home.

I started the install at 345pm and was test driving it at 440pm....

the install WAS SO EASY!!!! (last car i installed a short shifter was on my 04 gto.... and that was an absolute nightmare!!!! )

Just like to say, that it feels like a sports car now!

i drive an 06 F-550 for work everyday, and the shifter in that was nicer than the stock one in the Z

MGW makes the best shifter for our cars (I've tried most of the others)... Their new **** is the ULTIMATE ****! I've tried all shapes and sizes. I didn't know whether I'd like the straight cylinder-style ****, but the feel is terrific and the look is top-notched!!

George is also a terrific guy who gives great customer service! He personally hand-assembles every shifter! How's that for QC??
