Just a heads up. The hybrid no-cut shifter, from my experience, is not the best. I purchased it for the same reason as you,To keep the OEM look. But, in terms of performance 👎🏾. It felt stiff and difficult to engage the gears. Over time it became worse. Eventually,it failed, causing me to get to work really late🤦🏽♂️. I switched to OEM rsx shifter on top of the exhaust well and wow, what a difference. Smooth engagement of the gears,solid and notchy feeling. The downside is: OEM look is out the window and the RSX shifter in the ek will make contact w/ the climate console. Had to have the shifter shortened to avoid hitting the console in 3rd gear. Well, hope that helps. And btw: love the build,keep up the good work 👍🏾
@@Stateside_aristo no. The shifter sits slightly higher. The shift boot will need to be removed altogether. And the shift console will have to be trimmed to clear the cables.

Ah man! Thank you for this info. I’ve always heard mixed reviews. How does your RSX shifter it? It fit under the plastics? Still look OEM or no?
