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.

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?

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.
