Chrome headlight rings + OEM interior wood trim installed
Just wanted to share with you what I added to my 05 coupe.
I got the brand new interior wood trim off a crashed C280. In fact, it was so brand new that the sticker warning was still on the ashtray.
And I also got the chrome headlight rings from eBay
What do you think?

I had the cheap plastic that the Coupe came with.
The wood trim was an option on the coupe, even for the 2005 model year.
It is like a night and day difference once I took out the plastic.
Here the pic of the interior like it was before. It's not that visible though

Dmitry...I'm not a fan of that trim either, but I can see your theme to match your grille. I guess your intent with the chrome & wood interior is for a classy appearance.

as for the wood, I'd pass on that. I think that black plastic trim looks amazing!

Thanks,
The wood trim I installed via the DIY instructions that I printed off the website. Do a search and it will pop up.
Advans, I'd rather have the black wood like in some cars instead of this. However the stock plastic I really didn't like. It looked really cheap. The 02-04 models had some kind of a carbon fiber like trim, the 05 just had plain plastic. The plastic in my 02 RSX looked more refined...

I will post pics of my wood interior on my 04 coupe as soon as I can get the camera working. I hated the dents in the aluminum and wanted it to "feel" more MB like than the metal. For some reason, I cannot see your interior except as a small thumbnail, but the 05 interiors are better looking than the older coupes, for starters.

I have never seen a 02-04 coupe with wood. Was that an option available at the time of purchase or did you do the same as I, just bought it off some sedan that was parted out?
That's the same reason why I got it done, want to have a more sophisticated MB look.
Click on the images and you will see the big pics
