Thinking of replacing the interior trim ....
I have a 2008 C300 3.0 V6, black/black. The vehicle came with the brushed aluminum trim interior. I was thinking of replacing it with the faux wood interior. Anybody ever done this? Is it possible? How difficult?
TIA

And, I went searching for the aluminum to avoid that wood, but to each his own! 
You both do know that "faux" is from the French, and means "fake"?

but yes, you're right, different strokes for different folks. I had that whole aluminium thing in my past car and when I saw the wood trim, I was excited since it's something new, and i think it looks good.

you guys should just take your trims out and exchange them with each other..

it's interior trim, i really don't care if it's real wood or not. lol. And if u have the Faux wood, isn't it basically an overlay ontop of the aluminium meaning u can just take it off if u really dont' like it? just wondering.

Another one who can't spell the three letter word, "you"! You manage to write "aluminum", "overlay", and "wondering", but can't cough up a "yo" in front of "u"? Did the schools stop teaching those letters sometimes in the 90s? 
.....this must be a generational thing, but this stuff makes my eyes hurt!! OK..back to the topic now....thanks....I needed that.

I just think the "wood" whether real or fake looks better than the aluminum which I think looks kinda cheap. Like you said, to each his own.

Anyways, does anyone have a pic or know where you can buy the CF trim? I'm just curious how it would look.

MA Carbon has a kit, but it's stupidly expensive. You're better off getting it custom wrapped IMO. You'd be trimless for a few weeks though.

Just a couple pics of the interior door panel once removed. It's a decent process taking everything apart and putting back together. Not all that difficult, but not for the faint of heart also.
