i like the orange needles, so u can actually see it stand out and at a glance know ur speed. the hooded dials looks closer to that of a C63 so I think its kinda cool. but oh well!

The wood doesn't look right w/ the two-tone interior. Might look better with the black.

The wood is not standard at least. Aluminum is still standard in C300 sport and Black Bird's eye maple standard in C350. Burl walnut is available on both.
