Sorry, I'm missing it but I'm curious. Did you install a short-shifter or the light display on the column? Not many mods are stupid, they are considered customization and it makes the car individualized. Why would you say it's stupid?

Nice shift ****, how's the feel? I find myself trying to pistol grip the stock one and it doesn't work out to well. It looks like the JCW would work better this way, thoughts?

Definitely better feel. I was doing the same in trying to grip the cue ball. The JCW shifter just feels natural in the hand.
