I had the OEM Billet **** in my 2006 from the Interior Package .. it got hot as hell in the summer and was an ice cube in the winter ... I mainly kept the original Plastic and Leather one installed.

It's got little scratches all over it. The shop guy that drove my car to and from dallas for them to fix the stopes had a ring on that hand, as far as I can tell its from the ring. I wouldn't be surpassed if its actually plastic with a metalized coating like the chrome trim in the car. Whatever the deal, its most definitely scratched.

The Rousch short throw shifter is on my list of mods so I will live with it for a while.
I would suggest that you check out that shifter installed in someones car before you orde rit. It drove a 427r a week or so back and the shifter is not what I would want to use every day. To say its notchy is an understatement. I could shift faster with the stock that that thing. Ther is no lateral movement from second to third, its more of a three point move. Mgw has a 10 shifter that wasn't on the site last time I looked. The have them in stock thoughg and its only 250. I haven't used it but i hear they are very smooth. The tall handle on the roush shifter was also very odd in the 10 with the much lower center console.

Thanks for the heads up! I will have to give this some more thought and research when the time comes. A shifter is down the list a little anyway. Exhaust, CAI/tune, wheels and tires will probably come first.
