Question MGW Flat Stick Short Throw Shifter

Does anybody have MGW Flat Stick Short Throw Shifter installed? If so, could you post a picture of yours. I'm about ready to order one but not sure if I like the flat stick or not. Their web page don't show a installed picture. Thanks in advance.

Found a pic of a Corvette with one, I think it looks much better then the round rod.

Great looking shifter, I wonder if the throw is shorter than my Hurst shifter? Does anyone know?

I don't have a photo but I love the look of my Hurst Shifter, white ball with the chrome Hurst flat shifter looks so much better the stock shifter.....plus a much shorter throw.

Very nice. I ordered an MGW Saturday and opted against the flat stick. I felt like I wouldn't really care for the way it was angled

For the MGW, you order straight through their site. I don't know of anyone else that carries it.

The MGW flat stick is an amazing work of art...as well as being built like a tank...I have the original version in the car now but just purchased the flat stick...just too damn cold to install as of now...You can only get it on their site and the customer service is A++ and top notch...ask for George...install this and you will never miss a shift..100% amazing. Spend the money and do it right the first time.

You can go to each company's website (Barton, MGW, MTI, Hurst) and each tells you the percentage they shorten the shift.

You guys post your install pics once you get them put in! I'm wanting to swap my MTI over to the flat stick MGW.
