Do you think two tone wood accents would look good?
I was looking online and found a wood grain center armrest to replace the leather and it got me thinking... Would it look good if I bought a full wood trim kit in a different trim color and replaced strategic pieces throughout the car? I have black leather with the brown wood grain. I was thinking an anthrocite grey might look nice in certain spots. any thoughts?
Here is the link to the center console in the color I am thinking about... Any thoughts?

Yuck no! Just my humble opinion of course ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Just so you know if under warranty Mercedes needs to replace a wood trim piece due to a defect, they generally replace all the pieces to make sure they match. Mismatched wood I think would look bad + good luck selling it at some point in the future as whoever looks to buy it might think something is really wrong with the car...

Damn i wish my car was still under warranty. I think it could look nice if done right and if I had the right interior leather/ wood trim to start. My trim is hard to work with. A friend of mine has baseball leather in his 211 and he could pull it off with the dark grey and piano black trims
