Shift Knob Question (C55)
Hey Guys,
I've had a C55 for about a month now and have noticed that my shift knob looks bare or cheap on the top. As if there should be some kind of "insert" on the top of it. All it has is a plain silver piece of plastic while other cars have a logo or something there instead... What do other C55 owners have? Have you had something installed at the dealer to compliment the interior? I really think the shift knob is out of place with such a boring look. Any help is greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
PJ

Will this fit a C55? Seems like everything out there is mostly for the C32 which has a different knob.

I'm still waiting for someone to create an illuminated shift knob, that would have C32, C55, or whatever in blue light just like the door sills. Anyone?

I would think that someone, somewhere
could make a similar piece for the C55.
