Aftermarket Trim From China
I ordered some aftermarket trim from aliexpress which is basically chinese amazon. Usually takes a couple of weeks to get and a few items have arrived and I put them on the car and so far so good. The stainless steel dash pieces match extremely well.

Yes I guess that is true, call me old school but I do like a shiny dash with lots of metal trim. My favorite dash is almost all chrome with "art deco" styling that the family Dodge Coupe features, I guess I`m just a dinosaur.

Since I always use Android Auto and never use more than one drink holder I opted for one of these replacements which holds the phone, key, cards etc. very well made piece that fits flawlessly in place of the original.

I like the steering wheel!

I'm actually surprised you didn't retrofit the chrome strip on the front bumper. It's an option you can get from the parts counter.

There's also a rear chrome strip you can add

I finally got around to putting the trunk lip protection trim piece on, I like it.

Some one needs to make a rubber mat in place of the stupid cigarette box.

Mercedes makes that mat - like $35 and perfect fit and quite a nice mat - sorry I have not seen a China knockoff yet.

There is a very nice China plug-n-play wireless charger to the same area of the front center console like $110 - and also China "wireless" CarPlay adapter for like $600 - either one I have not been bold enough to try yet.

Not willing to pay $35 for a rubber mat that should have been included instead of worthless ashtray. Not a money issue, it a principal issue.
