I'm almost always against the dealership installing anything! lol. They charge you on average 15 dollars more than a regular shop per hour for labor, and their parts are a good 50% mark up a lot of times too. I hate dealerships when adding stuff to my car. Do it yourself!

So I really like the retro look of the Hurst...are the other shifters THAT much better to compensate for the look?

Hurst won that shootout.

i just ordered the hurst competition plus shifter last night. i plan on doing the install myself.
i ordered the regular hurst because if i was going to pay almost 300 i would get the mgw.

If you can change a tire then you can install the shifts. If you can't change a tire then take it to the stealership.
