I got my short throw installed today, WOW what a blast to drive. Truly what a sports car should feel like. I did get charged for 2.5 hrs labor, but it was worth it! Shout out to the Motorwerks service dept.(frank main tech).

LOVE IT!

Jim

Nice, if you guys get the chance order it from the factory, less hassle factor. But if your's is like Jim's, def go the dealer install route for warranty if nothing else.

If I could do everything over again that's the one thing extra I'd get.

Mind if I ask what the cost was? I assume it would be roughly the same price aftermarket for a 997S.

the part cost me 475, and with 2-3 hours labor, the total was 860$
