Sounds interesting!
I have to admit that I had to do a bit of research to find out what this install is about because you didn't mention it very clearly in video.

For anyone who is still not clear what it's about after the 1st viewing of the video: the clutch when pressed by default travels beyond the point where it has any effect, this stop when installed will shorten the "dead space" and prevent you from pressing the clutch further. What good or bad this mod bring I can't tell yet but will update after I've had a go. This mod is applicable only to cars with manual transmission, by the way.

I've had this on my car for 26k miles now and love it. My dad loved mine so much, he got one for his M6.

BMS sells a good one for $10.

It comes with three spacers. I found that two was perfect. I initially tried all three, but occasionally, my car wouldn't start because it didn't think the clutch pedal was in.

sorry that i didnt fully explain but yeah youve got it in onr there, in terms of good and bad the good is that theres no much dead space when the clutch is pressed which results in quicker shifts and for me theres nothing bad to say

A follow-up from my earlier post:
I installed the extend stopper and it seems to work well.
My car is an F32, after extended the stopper for about 6mm (as opposed to 2mm default), I felt the extension was not sufficiently noticeable. I modded it again and feel that for the F32, an extension of about 8mm-10mm above the default stop seems to be perfect (But note the comment from Korvo above: if the extension is too long, the car may not start because it doesn't think the clutch pedal is in). Very happy with it!
