SLS shift knob?
I stumbled across this today, I don't know what to think about it. Do you guys think it'll match my interiors?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-BEN...#ht_3995wt_948

Here is what my interiors look like as of now:

To be honest with you I do not like the SLS style one. OEM one looks much much better. Maybe you can get it with Aluminum top to complete your trim.

he appears to lack keyless go... sorta kills the point doesn't it?

don't think the SLS knob would work... since it just tilts back and forth like a switch rather than moving in a gate

I like it but W211 fitment is not listed. Of course a dremel, hammer, and screws will fix almost anything....

Please explain. If it looks good why do you hate it? Any pics?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but this IS the SLS one ( a replica anyways ).

The W211 is looking dated-though still good-and a front bumper and interior enhancements would go a long way in improving the look. Curious how the transition from the boot to this shifter would look. Does it meet up on the neck or go over it which might look odd.

to run this SLS knob, the stock boot would have to be cut & tied off, no?

For that price go for it. Worst you're out $90. Best, you've got a sick ***.

Yup, but I would tie it inside so it'll look clean.
