I'm using it along with my barton ss, it feels great! however, i've only been using it for a day and i'm unsure of how long the paint on the etching (the gears) will last. but it's basically a typical ball shifter.

Tip on making a thread. When asking people if they have something that "Looks good" it would help if we could see what you are talking about. Post pics or a link.

Host then post.

Take a look at this pic keith, you can see from the pic that the paint is already coming off. The quality of that detail is unacceptable. The shifter itself seems to be quality piece, but I recommend waiting for MGW to make something that will compare it to. The quality of their products is well known.

I installed this one for a nice look, it is of good quality (phenolic resin, the same material used in pool *****). Time will tell on the quality of the paint in the etching although it also looks well done.

I feel a bit strange about this being the only thing "Roush" about my mustang, but i'm not losing sleep over it. I couldn't pass up $75 for the **** AND the boot.

i wasnt asking them if they like the way it looks, i was asking them if anyone was using it and how they liked....those who have it dont need a pic, those that dont can google it. and btw i will not take criticism from a man who likes the red wings....*cough cough flyers cough**. jk

Hey guys just wanted to clear up a couple things. The shift ***** we use are top quality and the paint in the engraved shift pattern will NOT wear off. These shift ***** are manufatured by EPCO for us. These are the same shift ***** you will get if you order directly from them only at a better value with the adapter.
The pic on our site and Evo's is just a bad pic and I should have caught it. Its the way the ball is tilted that makes it look like the paint is flaking out and I can assure you it's not.
Thanks,
Dave

Yeah, we are here all week. Just give me a call and we can setup a Free install if you want. I will have my 5.0 here all week so you can check out the shifter in that before you buy.
Also we are now offering a 30 day money back guarantee. We let you install and use the product for 30 days, if your not 100% satisfied with the shifter, we will return 100% of the purchase price and shipping.

Sometimes I really wish I lived on the East coast.
I'd love to see this kind of service up here in the Pacific Northwest!

How do you remove the standard shift **** to put this one on? Does it just unscrew?

Yep. Unscrew that badboy off. Counter clockwise to remove, clockwise to scew the new one back on.
