yes i have the same shift knob on mine and it's "raw" carbon fiber... in other words they didn't put a layer of clear coat or whatever they use on the external CF parts to protect it from the elements... the same can be said for the M-perf interior trim.

To start first take the middle black piece (where R, N, D, - +, M/S is located ) thing off with a really small screw or something pointy like the one in the pic from the side. Is glue stick on theres no bolt or screw holding it doesnt matter which side theres a slight little gap all around it. Ignore the P button just chilling there for now. I will get to that later.

When the middle black piece is removed youll be left with the first picture. It is a very tiny screw with 6 stars if thats what you want to call it. That is what holds most of the knob together. After that screw is removed you will get second picture take it out completely but remember the middle whole you took out the screw from from the frame because when you put it back it has to go back on the same spot. The P button comes out off automatically after this screw is taking off. As you can see i cracked it from the sides a little and i scratch the bottom, because at the beginning i was trying to force it out because i didnt think there was a screw holding until later that i discovered the middle black piece came out and underneath was the screw. Make sure you take out the screw and the rest will be a breeze no need to force it. Don't make my mistake, you can potentially sell that part or put it back for next owner if carbon is not there style.

After that install the M performance carbon fibre knob making sure is align properly with the Parking button as well then put the screw back in the middle hole so it holds it together. After that, peel off the tape from the Middle black m performance part and then put it in the middle and then bombazo you are done. Pretty much putting it back the same way you took it out. Make sure you are very careful with the unlock button on the side it has two tiny little clip on legs(top and bottom of it) that break off easy... i unfortunately broke one of mine when i was trying to force it at the beginning and now the top dents a little in, and i believe its just the bottom leg clip on holding it. It gets annoying so just be careful with that.

Hope that clarify it a bit.

Youll be rolling with this now. Now just admire those 5 min of your hard work lol ... Initially 40 min but with a DIY should be 5 10
