I know its not a name brand that everyone will recognize for shifters BUT I have installed SEVERAL FIDANZA shifters for people who wanted after market shifters and everyone seemed to like them and have yet to have any complaints on them.
Also with the HURST, B&M I dont know what the MTI shifters made out of but you CAN NOT manipulate or alter the shifter to put the C6 knob in the same location it comes in stock, there is about a 10 degree bend towards the back of the car in the stock shifter.
A FIDANZA shifter is made of steel with an aluminum base which allows me to manipulate the shifter or bend if you will to put the shifter in the stock location.
I know alot of people install the Hurst and B&M and MTI and have no complaints with them but for me it moves the shift knob too close to the console.
You can get a FIDANZA with me installed for $225 and you keep your stock shifter not sure what others charge though.
