AMG shift knob option 2

Did my AMG shift knob today. Used a part from ForMyMercedes found here:
ForMyMercedes Shift Knobs
Cost $22 + shipping

Used a blow dryer on the oem knob cap for a few minutes then carefully pried it off with a razor blade. Then just stuck on the new cap. Easy as pie and looks fantastic. This is how they should come from the factory.

Its the same size as on the C55. The cap is 1 and 1/16 inches in diameter.
