Alex, I think you know how it will look as you're most familiar with the products and materials. I also agree that a two-tone (silver or zinc type background with the black/dark emblem), instead of a multi-colored, badge would look best.

The design on the gear shift knob of the Black Series also looks better than the multi-colored badge, IMHO.

Yes DEFINATELY the two-tone silver/zinc is better than color.

I definately second DSB's request and would like to replace the top of my shift lever with AMG crest -- it does not seem like even Steve MBenzNL will get these from Germany for anything under $600.

Paid for two badges (1 set).

Interested in the shifter 'plug'. Given that the OEM unit gets *really* hot as it is, and I had a titanium in a previous car that was absolutely unbearable after sitting in the sun, I'd vote for the plastic button.
