Carbon fiber interior trim---PICS!

We just had this CLS55 in for some Kleemann mods and we installed this very cool carbon fiber interior. It really changed the whole character of the car. We build a lot of custom carbon fiber interior pieces here so we know nice pieces when we see them and this was some of the nicest.

We're doing an E55 this week. It will be one of our custom kits, we'll laminate all the factory pieces. PM me if you would like more details.

This kit was brought to us by the customer.....it came from Europe. I don't know the price, we installed it. We can do the pieces if you supply the factory wood pieces.

Not feeling that HUGE piece of black CF. It's a lot subtler in a W211.

In Japan, this kit is going for 367000 yen. In the US, it will cost about 3 grand to 3.5K. Performance Products can probably order it for you from MP Design. Another option is to deal with KM Manufaktur in Germany directly. They are the OEM maker of all AMG special order pieces.

you need these 2 pieces to finish that GT2 interior off, ignition rosette and hazard surround.

The wood just didn't fit the character of the car once we added the KLEEMANN K2 parts and charcoal wheels. Carbon was a much better match for a car putting out the power that this one does.

Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance but.....

Isn't the purpose of using carbon fiber to lighten the car? When you laminate the factory pieces it defeats the purpose?

It does look nice though...

you're right about the CF, but most people just do it for vanity purpose.....

Yeah the only places you find REAL CF parts are on Ferrari F40's and cars alike.

I have a hard time with the CF parts. Because you either KNOW what CF is, or you don't. Those who don't know what CF is, think it just looks like a strange design on a car's dash. Ask any woman...

Those who know what what CF is, probably also know what is in most cars is just Carbon Fiber LOOKING stuff and not the real thing...

What it offers is a look that is a bit "different".
