Rumor has it that they add 25hp when equipped and I just confirmed it after coming back from a test run

I paid $100 plus $20 shipping from a guy in Germany. According to the seller, they are 100% OEM and I don't doubt it since the fit and finish is spot on. PM me if you're interested in buying a set and I'll send you the sellers contact info. A set comes with two key covers (one for each key) and the silver metal box.

Here's the pics:






MONEYSHOT
Thanks for the great find but I don't understand why this kit comes with two covers (one with AMG logo and a blank one). Wouldn't you be just replacing the current blank side with the AMG logo cover?

Thanks!

I think he's showing you the old cover (blank) and the new one side by side. It comes with two AMG covers, it seems. And a box.

I'm in. I must have this.

Hi Guys, I'll email the original seller and see if he has more coming--his listing shows all 20 sets sold. At one point, he was offering me up to 60 sets, so I think he has access to more. I'll let everyone know if I hear anything.

In the mean time, there is a set on German eBay, can't vouch for this guy or the product, but it's there if someone wants to bid
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-Merc...ht_1568wt_1398

I found this listing where a set sold for 205 Euros

I emailed my dealer, and is not aware of them, but he'll look into it with the parts department. *Translation: He has no idea.

The guy emailed me back today and said he's got an order in for more of the key covers. He said they are limited and hard to get, but he thinks he should be able to get another 10-20 sets. For those who want them, I'd just keep checking his ebay listing periodically.

Thanks for the update.

Which ebay listing, specifically? (Just want to be sure I'm watching the right one.)

Call your dealers, maybe MB distributed them to the dealers for the 2013 MY.
