Here's the shift knob I have on my coupe.
I bought it off ebay about 2 years ago. It's a knock off of the Brabus R171, but slightly different since it has CF on the top instead of alcantara, and the bottom metal rod is square instead of round. It used to say "Sport" on the top and it was a Keyless Go shift knob, but since then I have replaced the top with a Brabus emblem and got rid off the Keyless Go feature. My guess is that it was made in Taiwan, but I have never seen anymore of these anywhere.
This is the authentic R171 Brabus shift knob that I replaced with the knock off. The CF on the knock off matches the CF trim on my center console better.
