All I can say is WOW! What a difference. Install took me 1 hour and 50 min. I took my time. The shifter was a little hard to get off after the bolts were removed. I am not very handy and I think it was an easy install. It is better if you have a buddy there with you to help too!
The 5.0 is the best IMO. Congrats! Always best when you can install it yourself. Now driving has, once again, brought new excitement to your day - Enjoy!
I can't believe that I waited as long as I did to do mine. I love it. My cousin just bought an 04 stang and then sat in mine a played with the shifter. His first words were I going to go get one right now. They kick butt. First mod everyone should do!
