steeda used to sell urethane shifter bushings, was the best $23 I ever spent modding my car (after the money I put towards my intake and tune). It really tightened up the shifter, got rid of all the rubber slop and made quick shifts so much easier. Can't seem to find them on their website anymore, but I'm sure you can get them somewhere else.

speaking of shifters/cheep m,ods-
I got a 09 new takeoff shifter from ebay for 15 bucks- huge improvement over th 06 shifter...the 06 had a kinda bent rod in a rubber lined bushing, where the 09 has a heavy one piece offset hub- a little shorter throw, but immensely stiffer than the rubbery 06 version was.

I great cheap mod is to take a black business sock and cut the toe out. Fold it in on itself and slide it over you visor. It will cover the ugly airbag stick and you can slide things inside it, like your phone.
