It was a piece of cake to install, minus having to pop the plastic tabs that hold the original bushings. The instructions that come with the shifter are pretty detailed. Using that along with some instruction/pics from the web, it took me about 1.5 hours. I think it could be done in about 45 minutes but I was taking a bunch of time checking things out.

Different strokes... I pulled the B&M out and replaced it with the OEM 6-sp. A longer throw for sure, but easier and smoother. I felt as if I was yanking and shoving the B&M. My wife finds reverse easier to find.

...maybe if I was up in the powerbands all the time it would have been more useful.

That's true Wetstuff, there is more effort involved with this shifter, though not much. I can see the point of leaving the stock shifter alone to maintain the 'civility' of s the car. If that's what you want.
At any rate, the sun came out and so did my camera....time to show off...
