I have seen it in person. It's a matte silver CF look. I am not a fan of it. I like the matte CF on the C63 Coupe.

Have you seen the CF trim in person? To me, it looks glossy, you think it looks matte?

For example.

I have the coupe on order, but the matte cf is only available on the edition one...i don't have that in order, LOL. My build is Iridium Silver with black/gray interior.... I'm wondering if I should just change to regular C.F.....

Thoughts?

FWIW, I've seen both fiberglass and regular CF trims in person. I did not like the fiberglass trim, regular CF looked better imo.

Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It still looks nice, I just personally prefer the look of the other CF. You'll still receive compliments on it because it still stands out from regular trims, no regrets buddy

I've had both... I personally like the non-glossy look of the fiberglass better.

Here is the Edition 1 carbon fiber (which I like a little better than the normal carbon fiber):


And the silver fiberglass:




The interior plays a big part in how nice the console trim looks overall.
