I think aftermarket shifters look like crap. Anyway you are going to have to modify the console bigtime to get it to fit on a firebird.

like ede said, too bad im not vader or i could help you not trying to start an argument here, but this happens all the time. does it make the problem seem more important to write 'vader.. so and so, so and so.. help!' are they the only ones that can answer questions on this board? granted they know alot.. but geez, they arent hte only ones who own these cars and mess with them.. and this isnt a 'everyone message vader, gmtech and whoever board' so why are messages directed at them? im offended when i see these, like my posts arent appreciated and (some) people would rather just have a one way convo with god. i mean.... vader. to attempt to answer your question, you did buy a megashifter? you may try calling b&m, i've never seen the inside of a formula fbird, but companies say most things are incompatible just because a small bit of fabrication/modding the inside is required, and most people (they believe) dont want or cant do it.. so they just say its not compatible.. but maby im dead wrong.
