GL63 interior in GL550 possible?

Really like the GL63 interior and was wondering if there was any way to get it in a GL550. Salesman says no but...
Wife doesn't like the designo.
Kinda concerned the vent holes will be hard to clean vs no vented leather but wow the GL63 looks great.
A bit disappointed at how quickly the leather on the driver seat has developed creases in our GL450

Ok. How about just the gl63 seats?
Just disappointed how the tan leather wears quickly in the new gl compared to the x164
Was hoping the gl63 leather would hold up better
Thanks!

No you cannot unless you do it exfactory.

I have perforated seats on three Benzes, two of them are over ten years old, and there's no difference on cleaning those vs. non perforated leather.

I have had an instance that it was hard to clean the perforated holes...but I handled it.

If you order the leather interior with the ventilated seats...it will have the perforated seats.

I do agree that it is the most attractive interior in my opinion... But I would say that I am biased.

I will say that I can already see creases I the driver's side bolster that would really bother me in a light interior...but in black it is a nonevent. Before I had a tan interior GL550 and it held up quote well.
