So I put on a MOMO Shadow Carbon (fake look) today, I was debating on wether or not to go taller but I searched and knowing MOMO's quality and simplistic look I went with this one. I got it from Japan which even with shipping was slightly cheaper than in the US. So I start installing and major problem, the bottom collar where the reverse lockout lever goes into on the stock shifter is way too small and the lockout wouldn't go up into the MOMO collar. The white plastic slider inside the lockout I was able to clear but the black collar on the lockout was way too wide. So I ended up, after many hours of modding, removing the black lockout lever and cutting the white plastic slider at the top cutting just enough where the center of the white slider will let the roll pin move in. The reason I cut it is that it shows when the MOMO is installed. So I then reassembled the lockout put the lever in reverse and left a slight gap between the collar and the top of the lockout lever, when in normal driving the white plastic that would be showing is gone and the polished metal just shows with a little bit of the roll pin slide are. I like it too, looks more mechanical or something. So here are the pics...
