Cosmetically, most of the shifter is covered by the boot anyways, unless you get something a long the lines of a K-Tuned, fully adjustable unit.
Have you tried re-adjusting your seat so you're more upright? Considered a shifter extension? They come in a variety of lengths, straight, angled, S shaped....

If you want full height/throw adjustment and "looks cool", see how the K-Tuned unit works for you.
