Sickyute's review is right on. I installed it today. Shifts are shorter and feel great. It really adds to the fun factor. Forget about any doubts you have because this is the best 70 bucks you can spend on your car. The shifter looks exactly the same because it's just a piece that fits onto the bottom of the stock lever underneath the boot.
One word of caution: Be careful when removing the plastic cap off the bottom of the shifter. Mine fell down into the console. I had to unfasten the console so I could lift it up and look for it. If it wasn't for that, it would probably have been a 15 minute job.
