Has anyone bought this to upgrade the "cheap" interior?

Your own thang
You were asking if anyone had purchased this, and the answer so far (apparently) is "no." There are a lot of cosmetic mods that are popular with people here that I would never even consider, but who cares what anyone else thinks?
Hell--it's your car, dress it up however you want. And let us know how the install goes (pix please)!

I have the rear vent trim and shift knob from Schatz (a German based company) and am pleased with the quality. The parts are also real wood overlay and not faux wood as mentioned.
Personally I have the birds eye maple wood and is the only wood color I like but as mentioned to each his own.
I agree with the OP on trends. I thought the brushed aluminum was so nice a few years back but hate it now. Then again my mood and tastes change quite often.

Using carbon fiber as decoration in car interiors is a relatively new trend. Unlike cars like the F40 where the actual structure is CF, this accent trim is completely functionless and is solely for show.
I hate carbon fiber interior trim and prefer wood in my benzes, but I also don't like sporty benzes, so I guess its not an issue for me.

No I have the burl walnut trim, and love it. I have the Sahara/black interior so it really makes the three colors looks great. I'm going to get a walnut shifter because the stock looks so basic. not sure how the wood around the vents goes on, but judging from the price, I don't think it's going to be chincy.
By the way, which car had carbon fiber 131 years ago?
I think i'd feel pretty cool driving my C63 to a bridge game, but by the time i"m 60, I'm think i'lll be getting driven, ,in an AMG S class! hiiiiiyooooooooooooooo

Not sure this is the appropriate thread, but since its turned into a CF discussion...the good folks at getmercedesparts helped figure out the part numbers for OEM carbon fiber. I thought with their prices the factor trim might be an option. It is not. Not sure if posting discounted prices is allowed here, so I'll only post MSRP.
