I would take one too. I ordered the side badges from Folex a couple of weeks ago and got them about 4 days later. He's a good dude and you gotta give him props for the effort he put in to making the side badges become reality...Anyway, I'd be in for a shifter cap too.

2. Silverbullet
3. AMG Sleeper
4. AdnanHoque
5. pointman
6. AMGJEFF30

It may be time to start a new thread. And before we get too ahead of ourselves here, has anyone heard from "Folex" to see if he would be willing to do this?

And just we're clear...I was referring to the SLK BS shifter cap...not the CLK BS shifter.

Like this. I think this is the easiest conversion that would look great.

Gotcha. Would you know if it is heavier than our current shifter?

I believe they want to add the round AMG logo on it as a plastic add-on or a good quality sticker... not replacing the complete shift know.

Advans, how is the weight on that shifter? Heavier than the stock? How does the top feel? Tough install for the illumination? Thanks.
