Ideas for new shift ****

I have an 04 coupe, white with black and cedar interior, autostick and I'm wanting to replace the factory shift ****, anyone got any ideas that would go with the interior?

Try FormyMercedes.com and look under **** *****. There are several styles to chose from and the pictures are good. I got #S10-BEM,chrome AMG, black leather, and black veneer. The owner was good to deal with and shipped same day. Hope this helps.

Yes that is the style with the AMG LOGO, but mine has the dark wood veneer. It looks almost black. As you can see there are some good choices.

Re: Ideas for new shift ****

I'm finding it very hard to beat the OEM **** with the xfire ridge running across the top.

Loosen the set screw then pull up. Many have said they had to pull really hard. I changed the **** in my wife's xfire and it came off pretty easy.

Re: Ideas for new shift ****

I wanted to install a wood dash trim kit, but I can't find anywhere to get a matching shift ****.
Any help?

I found this one by cobra953, but I don't know where he sourced the matching pieces
