Great idea and looks like a killer setup.
How difficult is the installation?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Took me a few minutes to install. Works great.

It's an awesome, simple mod and doesn't get in the way of shifting for me.
However, it rattles incessantly at high RPMs which is extremely annoying and unbecoming of a fine automobile. The source of the rattle must be the switch mechanism inside the shift ****.

How difficult to install? Do you have any install pics or a link to them on your website? I want to buy but I really want to know what I'm getting in to. Thanks! PM if necessary -

Pretty cool idea...I think (?). I never liked the idea of a remote to switch the exhaust...I installed my switch in the dead pedal...out of site and hands free.

Is this essentially what you're shipping out? I didn't realize that it's actually a replacement shifter as well.
Is it basically that you replace the shifter and run the wiring to (I assume) the fuse box to fire it up?
Also, last year there was a GP for $149 and free shipping. I doubt you're offering any special prices, but possibly free shipping??
Thanks for any feedback!

Wholeheartedly agree. I am in the process of figuring this one out. Does anyone know if the 12 volts for the lighter is a greater-than-10 amp, fused, DEDICATED circuit (so I can simply put a 10 amp fuse in its place and use this power?

I put on another popular aftermarket shift ****.. I had the high rpm rattle. Another CF member clued me in:: Take off the ****, wrap the shifter above the screw hole with two wraps of Teflon tape (like you use for threaded pipe fittings).. When you re-attached the ****, make the screw TIGHT!! No More Rattle for me!!
Yup,
That is the fix and is now recommended during the install

For anyone who is worried about constantly hitting the switch while shifting, you can stop worrying. I rarely hit it. It's ideally placed - not in the way, but literally an "at your fingertips" switch when you want it.
Also, I did my own install. And believe me, I'm one who usually leaves installs - especially when you're taking apart the console to access everything - to the experts. But it wasn't that difficult.
I love it. Just about the only thing, in retrospect, that is the biggest issue IMHO, is the cost. You have to decide whether a few bucks is what you want to spend, but then have a switch that you have to reach for, or to spend considerably more, but have one that feels and works as if it's factory made.
If money is not as big an issue to you, and you want the BEST M2W setup, then you really should seriously think about the Man ****. I have no connection with LG motorsports. I'm just a happy customer.
Just my .02 ....fwiw
