k, I finally got around to taking the pic and pulling it off my cam...

It's not a traditionally "Mercedes" shaped knob, but I was going for a sportier look to go with the rest of my car ;0)

 

Looks tight...BTW, where did you get the Carlsson logo sticker?!

 

Wow, ditto that from me Josh!

Is that a custom metal insert - never seen a matt metalic one - NICE

Ever thought about cutting down the shaft for a cleaner and even more sportier look?

Love th Carlsson logo.

 

The carlsson logo sticker is made from brushed aluminum vinyl and my friend's shop made it. He has a sticker machine and can make anything from little etched glass ones to big windshield banners. The aluminum shift gate I got as a set with the chrome surround from Jerry at www.formymercedes.com He's a nice guy and the set was only $69.99. I've thought of cutting the shifter down but it would feel a little weird that low. Right now it fits right in my hand ;0)

 

Thanks - great to have friends in the right places!

Shorter shift=more sporty but know what you mean, that's why I went searching for one that'll cover the ridge in the shaft Would love that metal plate since I've got the chorme surround alread. Been considering carbon look also, to go with my knob - will probably stick some on myself!

 

Where is your friend's shop and if you don't mind, will he make more of those Carlsson stickers if requested to sell???

 

The top of the metal shifter shaft has some notches, ridges and indents. Cutting them off may cause the shift knob to be unsecure and spin around.

 

BBT Motorsports in Glendale. (818) 240-5390. His name is Berge. He can make you the same Carlsson sticker if you'd like. He can also make etched glass looking ones for your windows, etc. etc. Give him a call, tell him you were sent by Josh through the Mercedes boards and he'll take care of you.

 

Thanks for the info. brotha. Like I said before, I am always in Glendale, but I have never heard of BBT Motorsports. I will give Berge a call soon...Thanks again.

Thanks for pointing this out Kev (in case others get the wrong idea).

Guys, only cut the shaft if you plan not to use a proper MB specific knob again. Josh's and my Momo (and the other aftermarket stick shift knobs) are held in place by screws on the side,whilst quite secure, does not utlize the notches on top.
