A tap & die set just makes threads on something that doesn't have threads. I was kidding though you don't wanna do that. It would be waaaayyyy to low.
Ridindurty good job on the advice, cause I didn't even do that but that probably would have been a better idea then what I did. Oh and what kind of camera are you using?

hell yeah. B&M came out so clear on your shifter. I felt like my car was a disposable. But now I don't feel as bad. My camera was 300 but that's nothing compared to 3500. Cant wait for your photoshoot then.

Oh and you could also use a dremel or something like that to cut it.

it's weird how the smallest details can make a big difference sometimes. I got it on eBay but i'm sure if you Google it you wont have a hard time finding it.

I cut it 3/4"
Best way to see how far down you can cut it is this: Put the car in 1st gear. Measure just how much room you have between the bottom of your shifter and the top of the shift gate. Let me give you an example.

I used a hacksaw but I was told you could also use a Dremmel with the right cutting wheel. Dremmel is quicker/easier but you get metal debris everywhere. Hacksaw takes longer but you get a nice and neat stack of metal sheets in one area instead of the rest of the car
