How many people would get a Carbon Fiber Interior?

How many CLS people would get a Carbon Fiber Interior? If so what would you be willing to pay? Trying to work with a company on a nice alternative to the MP kit and the Brabus for way less...any takers?

Options would be Silver Carbon Fiber or Black Carbon Fiber.....

Me again...
This is one of the first things I am looking to do now. Brahus and MP where the options I was looking at. Was also going to call AMG. A little concerned about it being done right.

Would prefer High Gloss Piano Black from Designo Series, but Carbon Fiber Black would be OK.

well i would think install will be done by everyone individually or done by a local shop of their choice. maybe i will be a guinea pig and do a step by step disassemble and install. as i said piano black would be an option because i was told that could be an option...i just figured carbon is the best choice because it gives you that million dollar look. might be too over the top for some. i will work on pricing when i talk to the supplier. i am hoping we can get it done for $1500-$1700 range...but won't know anything until tomorrow. Maybe if we get enough people...we can get it down to say $1200...then it would be an unreal deal. Everything is speculation for now though...will update everyone tomorrow...

anyone know of a good spot to find parts out of a wreck or something along those lines? i am thinking the only concern will be turn around. we will need cores to save time. if we find some cores our life will be that much easier. that way we pay a core fee and get it refunded after we send back our originals. i personally can go without trim in my car for a bit and it wouldn't bother me...if it did i would just drive another car...i don't know how some of the rest of you would feel about that. obviously some of you could do that, but would still need a shift knob..lol. guy will be calling me within the hour...will give an update after.

Just order the interior pieces you need from the dealer. They make Piano Black pieces for the designo, I'm sure you can buy them.

I'm in.
Ive been e-mailing a guy at euroteck motorsports who has been helpful and I found him on this site so who knows...maybe he is on this chain. He also mentioned that the exterior peices are coming out. Have you guys seen those yet. I'm in for that as well.
Its on the MB-AMG site.

looking like pricing will be about $1500 as of right now...still a great deal. the main issue will be ensuring the quailty being top notch...that is all i care about.

It's definitely an awesome upgrade. We've been doing carbon fiber interior kits for the past 3 years or so with excellent results.

Check out the below pix...
