Well, you don't have much of a choice now since Courtesy no longer sells their STS. B&M is good. If you just want the shifter stick to be shorter, you can just cut it to whatever length you want, but it won't affect the actual throw very much.

I have a b&m, but no pics...sorry =(. I'm still using the stock shifter, and it probably sits about 2" lower than it did stock, and the whole shifter itself moved up a bit. All I can say is, you won't be disappointed.

Damn!!!!
I hadnt check but your right... I also want shorter throw but I wanna make
sure it looks like an after market shifter and like the stillen... I guy here in Austin has a Stillen and I woulnt know it was after market just by lookin at it..
If im gonna pay 150$ I wanna make sure it looks some what better than stock.
If not the B&M I'll go with Pacesetter or Custom Enterprise.. I dunno I just wanna see som pix... Thanks for the heads up though.

Yeah thats why Im thinking more towards B&M, I havent heard any complaints yet.. Just wanted to see what it looked like.. I'll probably end up
getting B&M anyway since it so reliable.. B&M and Stillen are same qaulity, Ive heard but Stillin STS cost 285$... THats way outa my price range..

I have a SRE shifter or whatever it's called. Installed it sunday, missed 3rd numerous time during test drive but now I'm used to it, I guess. It's shorter than stock but not shorter than a stock shifter that's cut 2.5". It's nice and crisp. I wouldn't get a b&m cause well, it's $120. I paid $27 for mine plus $.30 for a new bolt.

Most people who have the B&M love it.

As far as looks go, are you trying to see if it is lower than the stock shifter or if it comes with a new shift ****. You can always buy a new shift **** and make it look better than stock.

Take a look at my Cardomain Pg2...I have before/after shots superimposed on each other to show the difference between throws.

...I am MUCH more comfortable with the B&M and it's tight shifts over the stock row-your-boat shifter.

here is mine .. i love it.

no problem with hitting trim like other people have said, there's actually about an inch of room infront of it when in the forward gears.
