notice, he basically said he wants the look of a short shifter. he doesn't want function, only form.

i do agree with the rest of the guys that cutting the stock shifter shorter makes little to no difference in terms of performance. For me, the aftermarket short shifter made the most dramatic difference on how the car feels. it put a bigger smile on my face than my anti-roll bar.

as for the picture showing the selector stick when cut short (looks like about 30%?), notice that it still takes a great amount of travel between gears. not much of a difference.
