Default short shift kits...

i'm thinking about installing a short shift kit on my m6 t/a and was wondering if you guys thought that it was really worth it as far as appearance wise and performance wise overall...and also...is it very complicated to put one in? i'm just curious since i'm not too familiar with them...thanks

It is very worth putting in a short stick if that is what you are talking about.

I second that. I got the UMI for around $30 and it feels good. The bolts didnt fit (i think cause my hurst shifter is the billet/plus model) but a trip to menards solved that problem
