Carbon fiber interior

Hey guys, saw this carbon fiber interior picture. What do you think? Do you like it or it’s a little bit too much.

CF interior and steering wheel are a must have in my eyes. Really make the interior pop and look sleek.

The MB CF interior doesn't cover the air vent area and the doesn't have the CF trim in the middle. I was referring the CF like the one in the picture below

I think it’s too much for the interior. But if you want, there are so many aftermarket CF kits for G-class from Alibaba. No replace any parts needed, just attached them outside.

Way too much CF here. I am so over CF. Every car out there, even cheapie cars, are plastered with CF. Boring!

Personally the carbon fiber steering wheel is a must and very much love it.

I then went with piano black for everything else because it MATCHES the piano black that already comes on ALL the doors ( whether you get CF or not). See pics above. Also matches the black on the center console mouse pad. Looks awesome when clean. Trick is to PPF over the piano black and then it is easy to clean without scratching.

I think it's too much to go beyond what Mercedes includes.

I've been looking for for the OEM weave to replace all the piano black parts on the interior that are not CF. All of those parts would look better with a proper CF weave. Still haven't seen anything although TopCar claims to be selling these parts.

At present, those parts are not offered in CF. The CF Trim package leaves several interior items as piano black. Specifically the trim on the doors by the seat controls and the trim above the storage compartment with the analog clock.

I think it looks sharp. The curves flow nicely where the vents are. But I'm not a fan of it next to nut sack brown interior colors.

Thanks for pointing out the existing black bits. I hope I managed to change my order in time to piano.

Just my two cents, if you are getting carbon aftermarket make sure it matches the OEM. I just ordered some CF for my older W463 and it was advertised as the Edition 1 red carbon that matches the CF on the 2019. I got it and hate it, it's too dark and the red carbon threads sparkle in the light ugh, there goes 3K Looks like your photo shows pretty dark carbon>?
