No offence intended, but a bit OTT - IMO

doesn't look good. I'd rather have the ceramic one.

How difficult was the installation? Looks pretty good to me.

Thanks gsmith999 I think it look good too, actually is very simple, you just need a small flat screw driver and or a butter knife, then just put it between the silver/chrome trim and the leather and start wiggling it gentle to separate it, then just snap in the new one and you are done!!!

No wood trim on the shifter does not look good, much better with the standard shifter. But people have different tastes. I think sport shifter looks best. Can possible switch from the standard shifter for sport shifter?
