Buddy took it off his car that is going back to stock. Bought it off Ebay and can't remember the brand. So I wanna know if it's a legit product or a piece of crap somebody made while they were bored. My buddy said he loved it and had no problems, the only thing that has me stuck is the $30 price tag he payed. Check it out...(sorry about the massive pics, forgot to adjust)

Looks to me like it was something someone made (while bored)
For the $30 you could get the UMI SS ($26 when I bought it)
That and the stock Hurst shifter, are IMO a pretty good combo for far less $$$$ than the Pro 5.0/Ripper/Hurst Billet/etc

Change it? I'm planning on putting it on as long as people think it's worth it. Were you asking why my buddy did? Its cuz he's going back to stock.

UMI short stick is a good piece. I'd go that route for the same $$. At least look into it.
