You might need to use thread locking compound to get the shifter to stop in that position of the pic you posted.
I think that **** looks good.

A corvette **** on a thirdgen.

Since the Corvette shifters are a different thread pitch than a T5, I'd verify that it'll fit before you buy it. If not, mbaproducts.com has a bunch of ***** that actually have a logo that makes sense in a Camaro.

They include a few small plastic shims that fit between the top of the stick and the ****, takes a bit of trying but eventually it'll end up perfect.

I'm a dummy? Don't go there. At least my car doesn't have an identity chrisis. Anyway, I knew it was an MBA ****, which is why I gave you the damned website. Since it's sold in a million places, half of the buyers don't even realize that's what they have.
