the color is a bit off on the skirts but that's because my car was resprayed by the previous owner. final thing is to repaint the whole car and i should be done! it's only taken me about 2 years to get to this point. =)

another update: i had the stock w58 shifter modified so it would be a little further back. i was going to bend the shifter per my post here: Strength of Metal
unfortunately when i was trying to heat the shifter, it melted the rubber holding the top damper piece on. so i had to go another route. i had the top piece welded back on but towards the rear of the shifter, as well as a little lower than stock (welds aren't great but it should hold). i didn't take any good pictures before installing but i just took this so you can see it:

here's how it looks with everything installed once again. as you can see, it sits right in the middle in neutral.
