that chrome job on that would be so thin, it wouldn't take long for it to flake off, would be made of very cheap metal.

i've had exactly the same one in my car for the past 2 years with no drama's, shift feels shorter but not too harsh, you won't even see it if you use your stock shifter boot & gearknob

guys don't mess with this ebay stuff for your car, get an engineered product like gfb, kartboy, cobb, perrin, etc and buy upgraded bushes for this application if you want a good mod!
