That should work great, and it probably won't obstruck any view while driving. I found on my 2003 MR2 convertable, with my height, the mirror actually blocks any one at a stop sign on my left perpendicular to me. I have to really pay attention when driving in a city to make sure no one is hidden by mirror!
Just wondering, is the shifter at final length as shown?
Whatever you top the shifter with is going to catch the eye.
Its in Park, but you get the idea

Your earlier pictures looked to me like the shifter was about 6" longer. I like that length as shown, FWIW....
The Powerglide transmission that I am using has a transbrake and a manual valve body, which means that I will be shifting between 1st and 2nd a lot. The shifter allows you to slide the lever out of drive and into neutral but not back again without pressing the button. That said, I modified the shifter with a neutral lockout to eliminate the possibility of accidentally winding up in neutral. I drilled and tapped a 10-24 thread into the shift gate in inserted a grade 8 machined bolt into it.
