Just replaced the standard silver "cue ball" shift **** with a new aluminum/black/wood unit. Looks very sharp. I tried to find one at local stores but the shift shaft was too tall. Found this on eBay, specifically made for the MB SL. Took 4 days from order to receipt. Cost $69.99 USD including shipping. They also offer all types of AMG/MB/BMW/M badges.
