Carbon Fiber Interior Yes or No

I am thinking about ordering the CF trim in my C63 what do you guys think. I also inquired about the Klemann CF interrior not sure what they charge for it.

Blah, $2500 for a bit of CF not my thing. Put that money into an ECU flash or the 19inch AMG wheels would be x1000 better. IMO

Count me in the camp that says it's not worth it for the money. It looks kind of cool if you're going for a black/black look. But with any other color it's just kind of meh.

Just get it. The fact that you're thinking about it means it's important to you. What's $2,500 in the overall scheme of things??

If it is something your debating your better off getting it now its much more work to get it after the fact if you decide you want it later.

It's so damn sexy to stare at and well worth it IMO. It takes the C-class interior up a notch, so might as well have the factory do it the right way without any headaches.

The carbon trim makes the interior look that much better. I have it and think the AL looks cheap in comparison; the birdseye looks fine but it's everywhere.

I wish I could have got it, but I rejected the first car they gave me with the 030 package, and then when I re-ordered the car with the full PP package it still wasn’t available at the time...

Sorry but I didn't understand your post.

1. Are you buying a C63 right now and thinking about adding a H73 (carbon fiber trim) option?

OR

2. You already have a C63 and you want to buy and install H73 @ the dealer?

for #1 my suggestion is to order that option. I think it is cool to have it right from the factory, well fitted and made especially for you
for #2 wait a little bit untill some company offers a reasonable price on an aftermarket carbon kit.
For example: http://www.macarbon.com/store/c-class-w204-144/

I think there was a thread about someone ordering this kit. Use "search" to find it.

If there are members getting interested in the CF trim maybe the sponsors of the board that make CF parts can offer something? Just wondering?

It's a matter of personal taste, but for me a factory CF trim option was a no brainer. Might be a little more $ than aftermarket, but it is factory and looks great!

The MB carbon is top notch and there are no distortions in the weave. The fit and finish are perfect. I do not have any good pictures but I'll try to take and post some this weekend if you still want them.

I normally dont like CF interiors for luxury cars like MERCS ,but to be honest the new C is so stark and barren, since it was designed and co developed by CHRYSLER when MERC and CHRY were together,
that I think you should do it as it would be alot of improvement
and look good

in a CL or E or S it will not look as good as stock
but you C is more of a sporty car so go for it

Mind posting a link to where it says chrysler co designed the c class? Where does it state that this (chrysler) was the reason for it being "stark and barren?" Just gotta read that with my own eyes, thanks.

Are you serious?

The W204 was NEVER co-developed by Chrysler.

And "stark and barren" is used to describe the interior's of the Loser Three. You got your facts wrong again.

Furthermore, all AMG's are developed in-house by AMG.

You're probably one of those people who thinks Chrysler owned MB back in the hideous DaimlerChrysler era, instead of the other way around.

Check the facts before you post something inaccurate. Makes you look less a fool.
