The FLP feels great. I am also glad the OEM boot worked with it. Most people I know that have FLP shifters have gutted interior, so I was happy the boot fit. Additionally, people rave about the Hybrid shifter but the Chinese spherical rattled like crazy. However, I would have swapped it out anyway because of the period correct goal.

The shift knob is unique. I got it from a company called Rennstall.

I am trying to get the new garage organized so I can finish out the car. I still need to install tie rods.

Oh nice! I bought 1/5 units from Marcus at Heel Toe a few years ago that were a darker color. It was in my ITR when stolen.

I grew to appreciate FLP when I first drove Jon D's '98 and later Chwalisaurus's EG6 with it. The placement + ability to fine tune to the individual driver's preference = money.

It has felt good so far. Honestly, only have touched first and reverse. Given my new tires, I cannot drive around with my bad alignment. The biggest upgrade to me is no more rattling. That Hybrid shifter's Chinese spherical rattled so bad.

It sounds like some Kingpin Machine sphericals are in your future...

I got some updates coming soon. I just did a weekend at Chuckwalla.
