This link works perfectly. For anyone thinking about getting one, I can tell you it is everything as advertised. Easy to install and totally transforms the shift feeling. Speedracer800 is an upstanding guy and I would buy from him again anytime. Thanks for offering such a great accessory.

Thank you so much John for the kind words.. That really means a lot to me. I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's pretty amazing how much that piece transforms the driving experience.. Such a well made beautifully crafted part. One of my favorite things about my car.

Not too difficult at all. I'll be writing a DIY guide for it very soon, in case that helps.

I bought one of these from speedracer800 a few weeks ago and I really like it. Dealing with him was super, and installing the **** is very easy. Not as easy as with a "normal" car, but easy nonetheless.

Like these other guys are saying it's really apretty straight forward job. Getting the center console apart is half the battle. Here is a pretty good video.. May not apply to you exactly depending on what car, year etc you have. But it'll give you a really good idea of what's involved.

​​​​​​Removing the **** itself from the shift lever is just a matter of pushing down (spring loaded) and a quarter turn counter clockwise. You could go out to your car and give that part a try right now.. Then to refasten it, just the opposite. Push down and a turn clockwise. The challenge is getting access to the underside of the boot. Here's a photo of what that looks like and it sounds like Telum will be writing up a more in depth tutorial on the topic.

Let me know if you're interested.. You won't regret it. Nobody gets one of these and has buyers remorse

It's super easy to swap them over.

Here's how you pull the panel in a DB9:

Here's how you do it in a V8V:

And here's a write-up and video showing how to actually swap the parts:
