I just received these pieces (Thanks Ron!), and was dry fitting the kit to see how it looks. The CF is top quality but I am not sure if I like the CF with the aluminum. I just think the center looks like something is missing. It is a recessed, perfectly smooth surface, and I personally think Mercedes just cut a corner and left something out. I like the CF and it follows my theme with the lip and diffuser.
I know some people hate stick on kits, but if you don't like it- do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks

Turn the interior lights on and your camera flash off. It seems like the flash distorts the actual look of the CF.

Are these better?
Remember- this is a test fit so the pieces aren't secured yet.

ulovemybenzo

is that the kit from ebay? or did you have these made?

AkaSigFreak

I got it from Ron jr. I'm not sure where he got it.
Sorry.

Looks like ****!

I think it looks too glossy.. but that might be due to the lighting..

SMERC Engineering

Have you considered covering up all of the aluminum too?

im not feelin it, looks too busy... i bet it is just bad pics though and looks much better in person

AkaSigFreak

I have considered it but I wouldn't do a kit like this. I would consider the new 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl. It is a thin vinyl overlay that is the closest thing to real carbon fiber.

I ordered a sample piece.

Very nice!

I would have sent a sample with the CF pieces if I knew you wanted it. I've used it on my door panels as well as a few other places. Pics maybe this weekend depending upon weather. Glad you like the CF.

I'm sure it looks nice but some times pictures can't show it

Petje

Dont know about it, may be its because of the picture, but it looks very shiny??

AZN also has the carbon trims but it looks different, AZN is less shiny.... https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...rior-trim.html

But that can be the picture (or your camera )

AkaSigFreak

AZN's is fabric. That would be better for wrapping the stock aluminum pieces but I want something specifically for the heated seat,audio, and upper vent panels.

obviously it's the matter of YOU liking it or not, but since you asked...

it looks like crap and yes, all stick-on trim looks like crap.

TB5...

i was taught that if i didn't have something good to say... not to say anything at all... :|

im sure in person it looks better tho...

:\

Haven't seen uglier.

I'm not crazy about it but... the interior design doesn't flow. Obviously the interior trim panels would have to be dark and not CF, could be too much CF. The biggest obstacle would be the two-color interior. If the interior was all black you could accent it nicely, but with the light gray, it's very difficult to make that center console look good in respect to the rest of the interior.

too busy, needs to be more subtle.

JimPap

I think the problem is you've got small detail in a small area. i.e. too busy.

matthew121170

Not a fan, but to each his own, looks a little crazy for me.

Azn_C300

I think it probably looks better in person. It's just the way the lighting is catching the weave that makes it appear more busy.

imboom

Alot of CF products look better in person. I don't like how it looks in the pictures but it most likely is nicer anyway.

Mr Enigma

My honest opinion is that it isn't good. But whatever does it for you. =)
