I can definetely post p/n's. Hell if there is not enough interest in a GB I can always buy the stuff at my cost for you guys. It'll save you a little bit of money.

If you want it you can have it. I think its quit possible the ugliest knob ever!!!! It'll probably look better with the gated shifter and all components though.

You dont need the gear indicator, I dont think. The one you have now should fit.

Dremel and tap & die set should fix that.

They actually sent the knob and trim ring. They are still waiting for the gated shifter. I was just looking at the rod and your right C24owner, we'll probably have to dremel...tap and die it. Not too hard though.

It can't be done since dealer won't sell the gate seperately

Im not sure that set up looks good enough to spend 600 bucks on, honestly it reminds me of the older C class where you could see inside the gated shifter and it doesnt look great but it definately tops the list on exclusivity...I prefer the look of the leather shifter boot....What would be pretty cool is if someone machined an aluminum gate for the 6SPDs...a real CF interior would definately make this shifter work...but so would going out and getting a Black series, my first purchase when I pretend to be a billionaires lost child and lay claim to the estate

I just noticied you live about 2 hours north of me. I'm still working with the dealer on the slotted shift gate. If I get that, than it's going in If not, well I'm trying not to think about that. I even have a guy at work who can tap the shifter's shaft for me. I just need that GATE!!!!

Stillkickin, if the mod becomes successful, I will go with the real carbon fiber trim. I just dont know how it will look with the tan interior. I guess I could go aluminum too.

Thats awesome mano...CF might clash a little with the tan...ash or black would work better...but trying something new never hurt anyone...Cant wait to see finished product
