Hey guys,

What do you think of this gear knob?
Just bought it from Jerry over at formymercedes.com. A great guy!
It was special made to match my interior but there are also CF and wood version of this AMG gear knob.

that emblem doesn't look right on it. it kinda looks a little too bulky on the top of it. had it been flush with the leather, you would be okay.

thats what i think at least.

Kevwood

It looks like it was well made, the stitching is very good.

mikata

Appreciate your honest opinion, thanks Chris

mikata

All in all, what do you think Kev? Good/bad mod?

dynomite05

I will reserve my opinion until I see it in the car. The emblem does seem a bit bulky like Chris says, but when installed in the car and seeing it from above I don't think you will notice as much. The stitching kind of reminds me of a baseball.

Kevwood

Top view, Chris is right, it looks bulky, but from the side it's quite flush. I'm going to stick with what I said for now and say it looks well made but Wes is right in saying, "let's see it in the car dude!!!"

In the end, if you're happy mate, then it means it was a good purchase.

mikata

Hehe I will take some snaps when it's installed
I think it looks better than my stock "elegance" oval shaped gear knob.
Appreciate your comment

mikata

Haha I will take a few pics when it's installed
I'm quite happy with the purchase. I appreciate your honest comments my fellow CLK owners

dynomite05

I have had a few mods that look much better once installed.

mikata

Here is it in CF The CF seems pretty flush.

chrislis

yep it does. but it then looks like an autozone special haha. i like your leather knob and nice baseball esque stitching (like the audi tt first introduced). if it were without an emblem i would probably enjoy it more. the quality of the leather looks terrific.. then the emblem...

mikata

Can't wait to see them Will you go back to your AMG rims again?
The are bad azz

mikata

Haha Is Autozone cheap stuff?

dynomite05

Still thinking about it. I still have a few months of this snow to deal with before making a decision.

Yes sir! I like the way that CF knob looks though.

chrislis

oh sorry, forgot you're in sweden haha.

autozone is like pep boys. it carries basically every fan boy piece of junk for your car you can imagine, regardless of your car.

Kevwood

Autozone, Pep Boys, etc = Fast & Flamboyant garbage for the most part... I think they are outlawed in Sweden and other north European countries...

stop making fun at autozone, i bought some auto glass cleaner from there lolz.

Kevwood

You're so Dominic Toretto...

dynomite05

For the basics, it's not bad.

chrislis

BUT FOR SHIFT KNOBS.

M-bENZ

LOL ...no no no no shift knobs

i did see that shift knob on formymercedes. i wanted to contact jerry to see if he could make one without the emblem. i wouldnt mind picking one of those in wood to match the interior wood.

for some reason the ball design makes it look more sporty. then again, i wanna take apart my brabus one too to get that LED working again!

Kevwood

You know, an LED should have a massive lifetime, something like 95,000 - 100,000 hours. The thing that kills them most often is an incorrect resistor, a LED will pull as much as it can till it burns out, keep it resisted and it'll last eons.

i like that congrats. Are they still taking orders for something like that? I would love a black leather with red stitching.
You mind me asking how much it ran you?
