I watched the install video. It actually looks like fun (except for the dust boot part).
I think I want a new shifter now, especially since it doesn't seem like it's a "racing" shifter, but just a better designed one.

What's with the different boot? Is it taller or shorter o something? The Roush is the same as the premium option boot right?

The difference with the Roush boot is it allows better fitment with the new ****. I know the stock one had an odd shape on the top that doesn't allow it to fit with anything correctly other than the stock plastic ****.

I'm sure you can. Hopefully you don't have to buy the WHOLE shifter console. But just call or visit your dealer to get the part #. Notice I said, "get the part #" and not BUY it from them. Just get the part #, then find it online for cheap. I am also sure you can find the part # online if you just search on google. Maybe someone else can chime in if they know the part #.

You tore yours apart, do you remember if it looked like if it came off?

Not broken, just scratched. I bought the car used and when I saw it, I didn't think it would be a huge deal to replace (and it really shouldn't be). Then I started looking for it. . .

is the scratch on that trim deep? or is it superficial? I have a 3" mini griots DA buffer, with mini pads that would have worked perfect on it. You could something like that. Yes, ANYthing can be buffed
If it's deep, you'd have to sand it, fill it, sand it again, paint it, clear it... then in the end you could have just lived with it or bought a new console... lol.

I showed the wife the preview video of the MGW shifter. She's not a mechanical person and even she seemed impressed by it.

Number 2 man, number 2. I might try and just flip it around actually. Right now the scratches are at the front of the shifter. If it comes apart from the console, then I could flip it around so it's at the back of the shifter and I wouldn't have to see it.
