U09 option..benefits?
I am curious as to the benefits of the U09 option.
Is it only cosmetic or are there other advantages ?
Does it add a layer of protection ?
Since it is MB Tex how would this look when the P95 option includes The premium leather option 801
I see GregW has included both on his build order....and considering adding it to mine

U09 makes the truck look $10k more expensive, for less than 1/10th of that!
There is no other "benefit", it is aesthetic.

I think the cheap (plastic) looks pretty darn good. Its very soft for plastic. Everyone that gets in my ML thinks its leather.
I know its not leather, however its pretty soft to touch.

I would have loved to get that option, but we got a ready to go launch car. Definitely on our next car. That dash is what almost made us get a gl last year when the current ml only had the plastic dash.
The standard dash looks pretty good but not Pseudo leather and stitching good. I don't know how anyone could think its leather unless it's someone who doesn't really know much about cars.

The official picture above looks more like the what the option really looks like than my cellphone pic.

Its only $300, damn thats cheap. I would expect more from Benz, I guess its more face value than quality in some aspects.
In the Corvette its like 3K, actually in a lot of cars dash leather is damn expensive.

Of course, it's not real leather, but actually better for a dash since it holds up better to sun and other elements and it's hard to tell the difference.
