Getting ready to order GL550 but not many in my areas for us to even look at. My question is do black leather come with white deviated stitching as standard?

Also, do you guys recommend getting MB Tex around the dash option

the leather comes with standard stitching- not sure but i do believe its white-
mb tex wrapped lower dash is def an option to take- especially if your getting spc order satin dash- its a one time spc order. 250, +300 for the mb tex wrapped dash-
i ordered the dash but its not available for my build date so make sure its confirmed on yours-
it def looks awesome on black interior- on beige it looks good but not as obvious as is with black-
congrats on the order

I have black leather on my GL350. I would guess the GL550 is the same, but not sure. The stitching on mine is a light gray, not white but definitely a contrast. See my pictures in the picture thread.

Thanks everyone! I am also thinking about doing black headliner in conjunction with MB tex dash.

Has anyone successfully ordered MBTex for lower dash special option? My dealer keeps telling me it's unavailable for my build which is expected mid-March

sraza

nope-
thats the only option i couldnt get-
i know a few folks got it-
strange its a $320 spc order, its not leather- that can only mean mbtex is either not available for us or ? if international orders have supply really really limited--

i was told the exact same thing prior to my delivery, when order was still open- my dealer checked with distribution as well and got same answer

Yes I was able to get it in a GL550 that was built in November. I ended up not taking delivery on that car but it had the lower wrapped dash and it was really nice.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like a good option for the money if you are lucky enough to order it.
