Hey Brian,
You're not going to believe this. I was actually looking for some D2 Privat graphics for my SLK, but since I had only done a "limited" amount of bussiness with these folks, they refused to send me some. I began to search for some on my own and ran across a Mercedes CLK GTR Lexan race car R.C. body kit. Since I am familiar with the hobby I already knew these graphics would permanently bond to anything and are as durable as having the graphics silkscreened directly on the piece. The kit (it's just the body and vinyl graphics) is made by a company called "HPI" and the kit # is 7046. It was $24 bucks. The little AMG graphics were a bonus I wasn't expecting. My shift knob has worn one for about 9 months now with no ill effects. 90 degree heat, my sweaty palm, cleaning with Windex all have had no effect. They are about one inch long and three sixteenths tall. You get two of each white, black, bright silver, and smoke silver. Oh, by the way, I mounted the D2 graphics on some adhesive backed real carbon fiber plate and sprayed them with a urathane and they look better than anything D2 themselves would have sent me. I also hand cut some vinyl graphic tape to make a large AMG logo (maybe 2 inches by three quarters of an inch) and mounted it the same way. If anybody is interested in this tedious, time consuming, money gobbling, but satisfing procedure please post and I will try to elaborate. Paul
