Angry Because I'm tired of hearing how my shifter looks like a buttplug...
I made this today while the CNC machine was warming up:



Slightly less buttplug-y. Now STFU, ok guys?

Now it looks like a vibrator. Or a ***** haha.

Reminds me of that girl doing the Dodge Stealth shifter video from years ago...

This one should be easier for you to remove.

I LOVE your car but these are two ugly shift knobs. IMHO. I know you're playing around but try one of these, many satisfied customers.

Unfortunately, I don't have CF trim. If it looks like a dark grey wood, would that be the Bird's Eye Maple? I looked at the invoice sheet and the specific trim details aren't listed.

I have the round knob in bird's Eye Mable and it looks great.


@Josh all you did was change holes to stick it in...LOL

he doesn't have to shift it constantly like a stick shift, so I see no danger in that. :o

You probably have black maple wood.

Hey Josh, when will you start selling machined shift knobs?

IIRC, someone mentioned somewhere in previous post the owner of the website(formymercedes.com) actually sent him a piece of the sample material to take a reference picture so that it's possible to achieve a matched or close color
