The type of plate you get depends on which style you have. And just because you have a 2000, DO NOT ASSUME you have the newer style shift tower! Some 2000's (including mine) were built with the older style shift tower, so you should check to see which you actually have. To help you out, here are some pictures I found from the last group buy thread.
The 98-99 style is two pieces. There is a silver part that bolts on to the top. With this plate, you will get longer bolts and actually put the plate in between the two pieces of the shift tower.
Here is an example of the 2000 style. Notice it is all one piece, so the other plate will not work. For more of Scott's pictures, look here.
