Wood Armrest
I was looking into getting the wood center armrest. I've seem them in pics but pics doesn't do justice. Anyone have them or seen them in person? How does it look, how is the quality and fit and finish? Does the color match the factory wood? Is it just 3M tape (overlay) over the existing armrest? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

thanks for the link, sounds like a real good deal, but one thing i noticed was that there is no split in the middle, all US cars have that, but the pic is one piece

I found a local vendor by me who's selling it for $159. Not sure what the forum rules regarding posting vendors so I won't mention who. I know some forums if you post a vendor that is not a supporter of the site you get banned. Eventhough some don't like it...it's really the right of the website/forum owner.

Email me the local vendor info in Chi with a URL (if on the web) or phone #. Have you seen their product for Black Maple and does it look as good as the German one?
Thanks

Oh yeah, you can post the vendor of the site, we're not like bmwm5.com or anything, it's real laid back here, just make sure they aren't counterfit or anything that our sponsors might get mad at.

I'm sure some of you have heard of this vendor but here is the website regarding the armrest:

Guys... here are some info...
I deal with Jerry at formymercedes.com all the time. He's a good guy and gets things fast -- no probs with his company.
As for the armrest, I ordered them for my W211 E55 awhile back and much to my disappointment, they are held by stick-on adhesive backing that sticks to the leather. A dry fit of the product confirmed my greatest fears -- it did not look flush or "proper."
Maybe I'm just too much of a perfectionist or too **** but I bought a similar item from Schaetz (www.schaetz-tuning.de) for my CLK430 and the wood armrest that I bought for the W208 is a complete replacement of the factory armrest, hence the entire thing is wood, unlike the W211's "wood" armrest.
If you guys want better quality wood accessories, check out MP design products that you can order through performance producs (www.performanceproducts.com).
