I like it! Don't feel bad about the late install. JWM set me up with a complete HID/LED exterior lighting mod and it took close to two months to clear my calendar to install them. I've completed the project and now it's taken over 4 week (and counting) to post pics....

Someone here had a post of how to cut down the shifter to make the adapter sit alot lower. I had a hurst T- handle for awhile, went back to stock. The adapter is just too tall. I like the red ball.

I have the same exact ball but in black. I looks much better than the stock know which looks like it's from the 80's. I also like the feel better, I like to feel my shift and I wasn't a fan of the padding in the stock ****.

I did this exact mod just a couple of months ago, I'll post some pics tomorrow. I too like the way it shifts. Much easier than stock! BTW, I had to tap out my shifter **** to get it a lower, but it was'nt the ball type.
