Finally! ... Vipers testing is complete and the unanimous opinion from all of their beta-testers is that this shifter meets all of the design goals ..... It allows for super smooth and quick shifts from both low and high gears to reverse and back, all while keeping you out of park and without needing to use a trigger or explaining to casual drivers the secret to shifting gears with competitors shifters. It replaces the un-sightly, large, stock shift boot, but still seals the area with a smaller hidden boot. This Viper gated shifter improves the looks of your interior with a very detailed machined assembly, and they've inserted a Delrin liner between the aluminum sliding pieces for low friction shifting....... It fits between stock seats as well as most standard width aftermarket seats with no problems. The shifter comes partially assembled and installs quickly with common tools .... 4 small holes do need to be drilled in the plastic center console, but we include a 3D printed template that makes locating the holes effortless. If the shifter is removed in the future, the stock rubber boot covers the mounting holes .... Due to small variances in the factory console, it may be necessary to adjust the shift cable very slightly. This shifter is offered in a raw machined finish..... other coating options are coming soon.... Easy Installation All hardware included Machined from solid 6061-T6 Aircraft grade aluminum
