Unfortunately, I am new to Florida and don't know anybody with a driveway or garage I could use for the day. Anybody in Florida want to help me out? I will compensate you, whether it's a case of beer or dollar bills! 
I am in the Bradenton area, south of Tampa.

I may be doing mine sometime within a couple weeks with a friend in st pete. Do you allready have the shifter or did you order it recently and still waiting?

Watching the video for the '13 mustang, it looks like you almost need a lift to install. I've done quite a few things myself to get to know my cars but I think I would hand this over to a shop to do. Looks like a PITA to do in a garage with just ramps or jack stands. JMHO.

I would try it if I had a driveway or a garage. Since I moved, I don't even have my rhino ramps anymore and the apartment complex forbids people from doing work on their vehicles. I will even take the Mustang in for oil changes now 
. I used to do routine stuff like oil changes and new brakes. Now I just don't have a place or equipment to do it.
But anyway, does the bracket I need come with the shifter? Thanks.

I didn't even order it yet since I was wondering about the bracket. Where about in Florida do you live? Maybe when I get it in we could figure something out.

You can do it on two jackstands just fine. t's not that bad at all, just getting your hands up in there can be tedious. My hands are big so with patience it took me about 1.5 hours. Normal tools.
You can rent everything needed from your local Autozone.
