This is what I did do my car today - AMG Shift knob upgrade
Here is a video of the cutting process
Looks way better. No?
Took me about 3-4 hours with the dremel tool to cut the rod, also burned my hand on it because the rod was so hot from all the cutting, but in the end its worth it.

You know they do make cutoff blades for the dremel....
I don't know that I would have cut it off either mr747.
But I do love the CF trim wrap! I know some aren't fans but I for one love the dry CF look.

This and that.
I like the way the knob looks but I would have never had the ***** to do it myself!
I like the interior cf wrap. If you don't mind me asking who did you go to and how much did you pay? If it was in Calgary that is. I would be interested in getting mine done as well.

Sounds good. Also, if you feel up for helping me on the wrapping DIY it would be awesome. I could order whatever parts I'll need. I can of course compensate you for your troubles if you're up for it.

Wow, i love this.
I have always wanted to change the gear knob to this one.
Cutting the metal stalk wouldnt bother me.
Can you please post some more proper side shots?
How much did you cut off [exactly]?
How did you secure the new knob on?
Where did you get the shift boot with red stitch?
Thanks

Here is how much you have to cut off. The little gap will secure the knob in place (although I put masking tape on top of the rod that made it more tight and snug)
I will get a proper side shot later due to the demand
I had someone online stitched the boot in red for me
