I just have 350 city miles on mine, but have yet to notice that this is needed. Not once has the car not let me go into any gear I wanted.

The C6's skip shift was horrible. I do a lot of city driving where you can't get the power up to prevent the skip shift from activating. I just thought, for a few dollars just eliminate it. I did read where the C7's skip shift is less intrusive.

It's just some plastic molding from ebay. $13.99 and includes some little double sided tape. It just inserts in the gap that is there, nothing to remove.
