Mind if I ask how much the knob set you back?
Also, is that suede leather around it?

Well that makes two of us with the SLK brabus knob on a sedan . Yes, it's alcantara suede - matches the F1 safety car steering wheel perfectly, charcoal on both.

About once a month he has to sand the steering wheel with sand paper to get rid of those spots.
