I still love the black one...more subdued look. But the white is kindda cool too. Worth the 30 bucks or so you think?
this is mine now:

Ok guys I have some bad news. I have to cancel my order tomorrow. My parents who are in their late 70's are in need of some help and I stepped in to help them. So all unneccessary expenses are on hold until their situation is taken care of. This is my turn to help them out considering all the times they helped me out when I was younger. Until their situation is secured, I bought the AM shifter with some left over birthday money. So for now....AM FTW lol!! Sorry....trying to find some humor in this situation.

Well i was able to install on base today. Took about 2.5 hours (i was joking around with a fellow Chief for a bit) maybe less. The hardest thing about this was the rubber boot that goes over the shift for sound deadening. A few places i found were another person would have been helpful, but otherwise one is fine (with a lift). I also purchased a heat shield. The gait on this is prefect. No more missing gears due to poor quality parts. And that factory rubber bushing was a joke. Overall great quality!
