So I've seen a lot of photos where people have replaced that silver-trimmed plate around the shifter with a wooden one, matching the rest of the wood in their car.

Where can I get one of these? I have the black birdseye wood.

Also, and I'm sure everyone knows this already, but polishing your wood with a paint polish (Meguiar's mirror glaze #7, any other various polishes) and then covering with a synthetic wax will put a mirror finish on your wood trim. Looks INCREDIBLE!

I got mine from Steve aka MBenzNL as like I did with just about all my cosmetic mods.

+1 For Steve @ MBenzNL, he uses authentic Mercedes parts and gets them at much better price than the stealership

So, anyone know the ballpark pricing for this?

I've seen this piece at Park Place Mercedes on their 2009 E63 and was thinking of replacing the silver to the birdseye also. Maybe MBenzNL can get us a group pricing since a few are interested.

I replaced the silver metal piece with silver carbon fiber. Going with the matching wood made the car look like an E320 not an AMG.

Looks good, where did you get it from?

I like that idea, though I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber.

I too thought that the wood shifter surround looked really good in pictures, but then I thought about getting in the car and seeing it all the same color would look pretty bland and boring.

I wasn’t a big fan of doing the entire interior in the typical black carbon so when I saw this, it was a great replacement for the existing silver metal surround.

The piece came from RennTech so it’s a perfect fit. Since I don’t have my E55 anymore, it’s for sale for less than a wood surround...at least from my dealer.

I love the Renntech silver CF surround. Too bad I have Distronic or I would buy yours. Renntech gets all the dough for these bits.

I really want to replace my silver surround as well. I like the idea of the matching wood, but anything would look better than the silver aluminum.
