Beautiful work Sean (slowrey)! Can we make it as close to that picture on the gear shift knob as possible following the light and dark areas, two-tone?

hi..I think the areq below the tree is should be more purple.
the road should more silver than gray
and the tree needs more symetrical look
and yes adding the trips would be great.

I agree, the colored emblem might be a little over the top. Lets try and keep it as factory looking as possible.

That grey is just the color of the laser etching I'm guessing. I cannot believe that would hold up to wear and tear without some sort of epoxy of pvc covering on it.

I would love to see etched however I'm not sure how it would hold up. However with that being said, if they were reasonable enough one could buy multiple etched caps and replace them as needed.

Regarding that black and medium gray comment, the reason it was done in black and white is because black will be the part that will be etched and the white is the part that won't be done at all and will be reflective.

Folex, I really think etched would look the best because if it were a sticker made of clear material it would be just fragile too.

Just updating everyone- about 2/3's are boxed right now and we are printing the labels tonight/tomorrow. Your emails will come from paypal with the tracking. I got VERY behind at my real job due to mother nature. Sorry guys!

On the topic of the shift knobs- does the c32/c55 share the same knob? I need to send the actual knob over because my clay form didn't make it

I've searched online and can tell you that the C32 is a different shifter for sure.

The C55 appears to have an identical shifter. Here's what the SLK55 looks like. Perhaps a C55 owner can chime in and verify that it's the same.

Yep I just took mine off and switched to brabus shift knob few days ago. This is 100% the same one as the ones on C55.

Dude, what we need to get made are these hood emblems:

That's a pic of my old one on my previous E55. You can see that it's different than the usual AMG hood badge found on ebay that looks like this:

As you can tell, my old AMG badge was etched and was not just a print with a resin on top. It was painted and very nice! I bought it for $15 on ebay several years ago. There's a guy named Mario who sells these privately for $160! Screw that!

So Folex, any chance you can get these made? BTW I'm paypaling you for the 5.5AMG emblems right now!
