Question Chinese AMG shift knob?

Anyone have this Chinese AMG knock off?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...Q5fAccessories

Is it worth the money?
How is the quality of this shift knob?
Can you show a picture of your interior with this shift knob if you have it?

it fits our cars.
it's got the screw nut under the knob.

I was wondering if the quality was good and and if it looks nice in the real world installed in the car?
To bad they don't offer a carbon look front side matching european c43's.
They have this knob with front weener facia

all dat coins slows your car down by carrying x-tra dead weight!

your car is now officially a piggybag bank, drop a coin into your car every day, you save alot of bread, then by the end of the year you're Richie Rich with 2 AMG's

How do you like that gear knob?
it's got the body looks from newer w210 cars with tiptronic gearbox IIRC?

I never knew what to do with that empty tray... Thats a pretty good idea. I normally sit my phone in it, display up, so I can see if it ringing. That or my iPod.
