I've seen an ML with a Gucci interior a while back ( was put together using many torn up Gucci bags lol) and it didn't look too good. Maybe it's because the ML's leather was dark while the Gucci trim was white...

Or you can go to any car upholstery shop and they can do it for you. Its not hard at all, especially in California or NY, to find fake Gucci/Louis Vutton/Versace monograms. Its too easy to find fake designer clothing/bags/etc

You think that guy actually tore up Gucci Bags? yea right, I got a bridge to sell you...

I don't know, i think you have to be an offical licenced baller to have a Gucci interior. I saw a pic of a gucci interior on a SUV, but damn i cannot find it again. I think it was on the westcoastcustoms.com site.

Here is a link to the Saks Fifth Avenue CLK500 Special Edition: http://www.mbusa.com/brand/ftbc_brid...src=FTBCBRIDGE

It's not Gucci, but still very nice .

YUCK ... A PIMP MOBILE

Don't leave that one parked in the hood ! All that is needed to complete the look is some pink fuzzy dice hanging mirror and some fringe around the windows and maybe some chrome wire wheels with spinners.

I suggest painting that Tweaty Bird yellow because it looks cheap, cheap !

Thanks

Thanks alot for the pic ive been looking for something like that. And for all you people who think it would be ugly or tack it would look no worse than any other two tone interior job. Im looking to get teh black gucci manogram material with a black interior I would keep all the leather and everything else Not includeing trim and leather would be gucci. So now instead of carpet i have gucci fabric espiccally since the black manogram on black fabric is very sutle i think it would be beutiful look for pictures in Nov. !! O yeah and if anyone could tell me all that you know about CLK's im looing to get a 1998 320!!

Are you ****ting me? It looks like a fricken table cloth from 1957. It is ugly and it is tacky, lol .

An interior like that should be illegal it is so tacky, that is unless your last name is Powers.

Dudes, I'm with Accord. This is tooo much! Last I knew, Machuse, folks in Silver Spring had taste...

j/k, it's your car. But, note this: when I inquired about a Disegno edition, I was told that it adversely affects the resale value of the car. Imagine this: take your Gucci-fied car to Saks 5th Ave. in Chevy Chase and park it in the lot. I promise you the gals going into the store to buy the Guccis will cringe.

Now, to play devil's advocate: if Lexus does Coach why can't Benz do Gucci? If I could have bona-fide Italian leather in my Benz, a black like the black calfskin on a Gucci wallet, I might be game. But, unless you are in a rap video, I think you should stay away from the patterns and the monogram.

Back in the day, peeps in Maryland used to have a small monogram of their initials on the pinstripe on the driver's door. That too was a trend I never cared for.

Because we don't need any kind of tie-in like that. Gucci does fine on its own without that kind of stuff. Maybe in the day when everything was franchised out, but not now.

I don't want to sound like a corporate clone, but the image is everything. Besides, Gucci leather wouldn't hold up, and can you imagine how much it would cost?

they are all just hype marketing but....

the nicest seats Ive seen are in the Coach Edition Lexus. That is some very very nice leather. And it seems very tough and durable but still soft and supple. Most of the other stuff is just to help sell more cars to a select group that may not have bought it if not for that stuff. The new CLK for Saks is very nice. For a good cause (breast cancer research) and very conservative.

It didnt look that bad, I personally think that if you like it , than fuc$# what a couple of guys on a message tell you, its about what you like , If you got the $$ go for it, Be a leader dude, not a follower.

DO YOU MANCHUSE!

do what every your heart or wallet desires!

You are absolutely right, if the owner likes it, your and my opinion are nothing to him, I've dared to be different a few times myself too. I just don't see the "F" word fitting on this message. You can check on other messages I've always sopported people that are different, I was just expressing my opinion, I never said the guy "remove that interior" did I?


I don't manchuse, what is that?
