Silent, did you shorten it somehow? I also have the B&M and it sits way taller than that. It even feels taller than stock (although it shifts way better)

Well, mine looks as high as stock (if not higher even!).. maybe it's because I'm using the stock knob?

Stock knob will make it higher, but also, I know on my ARK there is a piece that screws on that makes teh shifter like an inch longer. You can take that off. I'm not sure about B&M, but it's worth looking into. Either that or sell the B&M and buy ARK. It got voted the best shifter in the throwdown on here. I bought it and I love it. Sit's about and inch above the shift surround without the knob, you can shift without moving your arm even, just wrist movements.

Nope, it was all in one piece. Here's a pic:

Havent tried the B&M, but I've known people that have had them, they're quailty. I have the ARK and it kicks ass, hands down the best money I've ever spent on a car
