Haven't heard from Eric in a while but I think the price is around $105 shipped?
The plate is required for the shifter to work in our cars. The shifter is really for a Focus but with the use of one of the plates it works perfect. What plate you need depends on the type of tower you have. All pre 2000 and some 2000 models will use the smaller 1/4" plate and most 2000 models will use the larger 1/8" plate. The Focus has a taller shift tower then the Contour...the plates make up the difference and allow the shifter to fit and function properly. It will not work without them. Both installations are very easy. The 2000 model requires a little more work only because you need to get under the car and get behind the heat sheild (does not have to be removed completly). It can be done in less then 1 hour. Pre-2000 models have been done in less than 30 minutes.
