Hey what's the instruction on taking apart that grey plastic cover around the shifter? Do you have a DIY site or something?

Good choice on the B&M. Tell me what you think of it, when you get the time to test it out.

Its a very solid feel shifter. Much shorter throw, near OEM height, and its a very smooth engagement.

Its adjustable too, so that may be a selling point. Came with the mounting bushings as well.

Very crisp. No problems since I bought it.

I got it from Jegs for about 140 shipped if I remember correctly, works fine with the stock ****, and the install took MAYBE an hour.

Getting the old shifter out was the hardest part.

It came with VERY detailed instructions, so it wasnt all that hard to see how it went in.

The polks didnt fit with their mounting cups in the OEM location without looking like butt. I had to buy another housing for the OEM tweeter, because to get the larger tweeter in there, the cutout was too big for the pod.

So I just left the OEMs and Im going to replace them with regular non tweeter pillar pods, maybe even put a guage in there or something. Havent decided yet.
