W204 GB - 9 piece CF trim to replace OEM trim
Guys,
I have been PM'd alot about CF interior trim that I have installed in my car and there seems to be great interest in this. I have arranged for a GB with manufacture for their 9 piece OEM trim package. Price is $725.00 shipped.
This GB DOES NOT require core exchange as almost all trim offerings do. This means you keep your OEM trim and can either reinstall if you sell the car and want it stock or you can sell the OEM trim as there are several vendors who buy these parts for around $350-$400 for all 9 pieces.
You will also notice that this package has the trim around the seat adjustment trim in door for both sides of the car. Some of the packages only have this trim for drivers side.
Just as matter of disclosure, I don't work for or have any relationship with the manufacture of these goods other than as customer and the price above is at cost. Just got so many PMs that I thought I would try and help out.
The mods have asked me to keep this GB open for 2 weeks max so please PM me ASAP if you are interested.

Wow that price seems really good for the CF trim! Couple questions for you however. How is the CF weave? It seems from some of the pictures there is slight wave in some of the pieces, in particular the ash try cover. Is this just an illusion?
The fitment looks great from your pictures, but how is it in person? Is it dead on, just like the original oem trim?
Lastly, you said some vendors will buy back the oem trim. Do you know which ones in particular?
Thanks for setting this up too, very interested in this at that price!

The weave is fine so I think it is most likely the photo. I have noticed this many time when I take pics of CF mods I have done that there seems to be imperfections on the CF/weave in photo but when you look at it in person there is none. Fitment is OEM and no issues. I would get an install tool though...MACarbon sells one of their webiste for $20 or so and it is very useful in pulling out OEM trim and putting in CF trim. DCT is one of the vendors that might buy the trim. I would simply do a search on any vendor that does these 9 piece CF trim bundles as most need to send OEM trim to get them wrapped. The cost to buy the parts from MB is nuts so they can save some $ by buying your set if you don't want them.
Hope this answers your questions.

Guys there was a little confusion as to whether the trim set came with trim with seat adjustment/memory panels on both sides or just the drivers side. There are two versions available for same price;
1. With seat adjustment panel and memory plate on drivers side with solid panel on passenger side
2. With both sides having panels for seat adjustment/memory
See attached pics. When you place order, please let me know what version you need.
Thanks,
Dave

Guys, received confirmation from manufacture that production will take 10-15 days from order placement. I would allow for 7 days shipping so in total I would say that delivery would be in 3-4 weeks.

Ooh, thanks for putting this GB together as I'm very interested. Just a quick question, the first post mentioned the price as $725 shipped, does that imply shipped to the US? I'm in Canada and am wondering if there is any difference in shipping cost.

Hi, no problem. The price of $725 is shipped price to you in either Canada or US. There is no shipping cost difference. The only thing that maybe different is some Canada customs fees. If you want we can apply a "cost of goods" commercial value which would have lower value and hence most likely avoid this issue.

MCD Motorsport, I was undecided if I will get the carbon fiber trim since I couldn't find a buyer to buy my existing black maple trim. Since you said you buy it from us for $300. Can you provide the detail of this transaction?
Thanks.
Thanks.
