Default Installed my V&S short shifter this morning

I just got back from a test drive. What a ****ing difference !!! WOW
Shifting is more direct now and there is no play in the bearing anymore . It feels ALOT better ! It's so much more fun driving now. I couldn't hardly stop
I've ordered the shifter from Sergio of innovativeperformanceproducts.com. He is pretty cool and we had a great communication. The service from innovativeperformanceproducts.com is awesome !!! I've ordered the shifter last sunday and received it on thursday. Also the install instruction is pretty good. The install was easy and took not very long. I am pretty happy with this product !
The shifter is about a half inch shorter and the shifting-travel is pretty short.

May it's hard to tell from the pics but the difference is huge !
