i original purchase a momo ****...but i didn't care for the added 1" in height. and i didn't want to hack my car...especially if i wanted to put the stock **** back on at resale.

so...i then decided to purchase an 04' m/b slk automatic black leather shift ****. this **** is classy and looks as if it belong there imo. it also, fit as the crossfire stock **** does...height and all.

m/b part # A 170 267 10 10 9C05 (called a: handle)

I don't see what's wrong with the stock shift ****. I think it looks great.

The stock shift **** continues the XFire design theme that has the center ridge on the hood, a slight ridge on the radio/control cluster face and a ridge on the headliner. It is well thought out.

I was really impressed when I finally noticed how the theme comes together. I can't think of another car where the designer paid that much attention to detail.

I agree, but the theme it seems to add to, is the cheap shiny plastic look. The odd-shaped stock plastic shift **** would have to be what I disliked most about the car.

That odd shape you mention is the design theme being carried through the interior of the car.

If you don't like the ****, change it out. I doubt if any passenger will ever note that your new **** doesn't fit with the design theme for the car. Only you will know for sure. :-)

One thing I've noticed about the stock **** is, that every woman that sits in the car seems to like the way it feels when they handle it. And that's all I'm going to say about it.

The shift **** is almost ball shaped and the rest of the interior is pretty flat...Maybe pushing it a little you could say the center line goes with the hood but...

I guess you don't read sig's since mine has been changed a week after I got the car...Since the color of the new ***** leather and thread work is quite close to what is found on the stock steering wheel...I would say my aftermarket **** looks more in "theme" with the rest of the car then the stock one did...

Well, then it's very good wrought! Because it feels quite heavy when removed.
