Sport Steering Wheel & Shifter

Hey everyone, after having my CLS for a week as of today I think I'm gonna keep the leather steering wheel and shifter. Originally after having wood on my E last time, I couldn't wait to swap them out, but I really like the chrome accents on the leather shifter and the sterring wheel seems more "sporty" to me without the wood now.

What does everyone else think who has the AMG sport package?

u see Carlsson wheel and their interior? the cross stitching on the seats is nasty as hell, but the black trim and wheel look bad a$$. i think i will go that route.

If we're talking aftermarket steering wheels, I like the brabus one with the clean side grips.

For those of us without keyless/go, the top of the shifter actually looks pretty naked and in need of something...will consider Brabus shift.

That looks so pimp IMO. That leather with cross stitching is so Bentley Mullinerish its ridicolous. If I bought my car instead of leasing it, that whole interior would be installed.

Sorry man - that interior looks like my grandma stitched a quilt for her bed. The only thing that screams is "vintage bedspread", but that's just my opinion.
