glad you like it
I am glad you like it...I think it came out pretty well..One addition I will do before putting in the car...Spray some 303 on it....Got the stuff from performance but local autostores carry it...Goes on like armour all but drys unlike armourall...no silicone stickiness HIGHLY suggest it to all...

You could send the pieces to me .... If you want I can use same color contact paper or run to walmart pick out what you want...and I can do it...
Waht do you think is fair considering performanceparts4benz has akit for 300 bucks...? figure a few hours and a good exacto blade

thats a good question, I don't know how you would price that, I guess you would have to consider labor plus choice of colors or whatever.
Thanks for the offer Dave but if I'm going to take the console out I might as well try this myself

price
If it looks good when I get done and I use the same stuff I figure I would charge $100. + shipping...If anyone is interested Great....I will do the best job I can for you but remember it is contact paper not veneer so if perfection is what you want buy new...
FYI:
I contacted a maker for the contact paper and he said that a poly uthene coating which I originally thought of might make the contact paper glue disolve so this is why I will spray it with 303 only...

be careful, man. Extreme E500 (aka Albert) was banned from this website for selling his services since he's not a sponsor. I.e. the greedy ba$tards that run this site don't value members helping eachother out if they can't make any money off of it.

1992 300CE AMG Hammer Replica, 2004 C240, 2015 ML350
I used vinyl on my wood like 5 years ago...
Simple to install, and lasts. I havent had to replace it since.
I did mine in silver with some of the vinyl carbon trim looks killer if you ask me. Best $20.00 I ever spent on the inteior of my car besides the blue led mod I did in all the switches.
