Yeah Mark, no problem.  I don't own one and it's no skin off my back. 
Erik gave you a better functional description of the part and how well it
works.  There are pics of the installed part on shoforum.  The shifter
looks fine covered up, but like I said, it's not the same configuration as
the stock shifter and the knob will sit lower and further to the back.  As
the description states, it is a short throw shifter so the amount of
actual movement is less than what we are used to.  It is also adjustable
as to the length of the arm.
