Pretty easy to do without pulling the trim off, no messing with masking or overspray. Shadowlinetrim.com came into existence and sells a product specifically for this purpose, for $20-30. I recommend it to everyone.

Drew up a design for a new shift knob combining the mounting design of the new shifter and the style of the condor shifter. The finished version will look a bit different than the condor knob though. A friend of a friend (I guess he's my friend now too :) ) has a machining/manufacturing business and loves working with customers (especially for automobiles) to make special parts like these.

He'd be happy to make more of them, or anything else you can think up. I'll probably be working with him on a few other parts that may be of interest to others as well.
Finished the first two new seat mounts. Not bad for a hole saws, cutoff discs and flap disc. Started measuring for the rear mounting holes and tested them in the car. Seems like a perfect fit and position :D

good stuff as always.
So I finally installed and tested the shifter. I absolutely love it. Worth every penny. I only wish I had known about it earlier and had the foresight to buy one. Every aspect of it is excellent; fit, finish, performance. I made a review with more detailed information, feedback and pictures since I thought that was more appropriate rather than some random pictures and comments that would get lost in this thread.
Coolerworx BMW short shifter review
Mounting the shifter in the e30 does require the center console and ash tray to be clearanced/removed/modified and will no longer allow a shift boot (unless you make something custom). I started to make a panel to cover the exposed section around the shifter which should look great when done. Unfortunately I acted like an ape when I clearanced the console and didn't measure, just eyeballed it an cut a bit too much :p I'll probably replace the console eventually. I also haven't quite figured out what to do with the ash tray. Still not sure if that can be clearanced and reused, or if I'll have to make a new panel there too. Probably the latter.
