uhm...yeah, good job, you have not drastically increased the amount of effort it will take to shift gears because you haven't shortened the throws of your shifts, but gotten rid of alot of the shift leverage you have. have fun.

You did nothing but lower the height, and leverage. but IF ONLY you did it for looks, then good job.

don't be lazy. Do the job right or don't do it at all.

That's what I always say. Is road head worth losing performance out of your vehicle? A true girl can work around ANY obstacles if she loves sausage enough.

effort... hmmm.. it takes me a good 20-30 minutes total including taking apart and reassembling the interior pieces.

just grab the right tools... and you're good to go.... in comparison and my opinion... i would say it took more effort using a hacksaw than for you to do it right in the first place.
