I love mine. So much better than stock. Like a friend told me when I was thinking about it "you're guaranteed a 100% usage every time you drive the car".

First of all, DCT does beautiful work and their customer service and turn around time is very good.

I've gotten several CF pieces from them and the quality is great...

Can you do the same wheel with birds eye maple to match trim?

Also can you do paddles like AMGfan's wheel?

The paddles we sourced directly from my local MB parts department. I had the tuner house I use do the install...they had to do some adjustment to the fit and the wiring harness to make it work but the final product is perfect.

The fit is great and the feel of the solid action of the paddle shifting is spot on...

birdeye maple is not a problem!
see below!



Paddle for e55 has some problems, here is the explaination

First of all, why CLK55, SL55, CLS55 are easy to do buttons --> paddles conversion
1 look at the size of CLS55 and e63 module, the AMG 55 opening is actually larger and easy to accomodate the 63 paddles


2 The 55 back surface is flat and smooth, the 63 metal housing will sit flush



3 The 55 cavity is long and we even can move the paddles a little bit "inside" so it will be more visible from driver seat





4 see the +/- pins, these are all SL55 and SL65 with paddle conversion


Now, the e55, e55 wheel is unique for Mercedes models which only W211 AMG and very rare G-class will see this wheel.
first of all, the e55 module is small


and the buttons stay very close to the outter edge of the wheel. also there is a steep angle on the surface, so people do the DIY themselves think the gap (between metal and leather) is ok but if we make it for customers, they think the "NOT sit flush" is not acceptable


So, conclusion:
e55 paddle conversion is doable but not recommended!
Also, it will sit right behind the edge and not very noticable from driver seat!
