We've had these question asked a few times via PM and email, so I figured I'd post them here...
1. NST shifters are part stainless steel, part anodized aluminum.
2. No cutting or modification of any sort is required. 100% drop in.
3. No transfer of parts or modification is required.
We have a few photos of our shifter vs. the oem 370Z shifter in our SSK thread, on our website, facebook, and instagram accounts.

NST Nissan 370Z (top) and OEM Nissan 370Z (bottom) pictured here.
And you can add one of three shift knobs: shift ball, short knob, tall knob.
