Dumb question but is our shifter vertical or 45 degree back?

huitt06, i'm guessing you are referring to the stock shifter, the shifter itself is vertical (sitting at neutral gear). unlike the the 2003 honda civic si (hatch)

if you want it to sit 45 degree back, then there are 2 options that i know, 1, you can get a 45 degree (elbow) shifter extension or 2, you can get a shift knob that bends backwards.
