Sorry, I dont' have pcitures to show but I can tell you this is probably the best alternative to AE shifter since AE shifter doesn't really fit.

It's shorter than Stock, i was happy when I finished installing it...it was pain in the *** the process was long, took me about one and half hours, since I had to pull the center console off and trying to fit the shifter on..wow, after this I would never mess around with another OD shifter!!!!

For those who are looking to replace their auto shifter but are afraid of fitment problems AE shifter has, try this one..they have all kinds of style as i had posted before, i got the carbon fiber one!!!Nice
the funny thing is, the OD button has two functions now, If i click it down, it will have OD off forever unless i click TWICE to turn it back on, if i want to do it like stock, i just tap on it, wow this is something i never expected, it's like you tap on it lightly and it will function like stock and if you click it down, OD will be off forever unless you click it twice to turn it back on??

Hehehe... I also have to tap the OD button to turn it on and off. I guess our OD button sends a message that flips on to off or off to on, which is different that the 4th gen.

Kev, you have to do that for your Levoc shifter also(tapping)? That's a relief, cuz I thought I messed up on the installation, so it caused the OD behaves weird, but I tried several times trying to install it back and forth..still the same result???for mine, if I click it down, it will just stay that way until i double click..weird..but it's kind of cool that we just have to tap it instead of clicking it..faster hehehehehe

A friend of mine who have installed this shifter on 4th gen max told me that it didnt' have this problems plus it fitted good and easy installation..i guess we didnt' expect this to happen on 5th gen max..(pain)

BTW, they sell these kind of shift **** at Nissan dealership down in L.A area...funny i thought they should fit perfect on maximas?

Paul, sorry no digital cam to take some pictures, but if you want i can post the link which shows pictures of the shift ****, i can tell you that it is a little bit shorter than Stock height and looks good, i got the carbon fiber one.....
