Default Neuspeed Short Shifter for 99 Civic?

Is the Neuspeed Short Shifter worth $110?

I don't want to buy it and have to return it like I had to do with a previous short shifter that hit the exhuast pipe b/c it was too long and would not install properly. I really shouldn't be asking this question but I want to make sure it is worth the money b/c I am about to place an order for one.

I am glad that I returned it, It was a POS APC Short Shifter.

The thing about the skunk2 I dont like is that it doesn't actually make the shifter any lower. I like the knob to sit lower IMO

The Neuspeed and skunk2 are both good shifters. If you want the knob to sit lower then get the Neuspeed.
