I know we talked about it a long time ago but no one ventured to try it out.

Here's my first attempt... it was somewhat of a pain but I got the hang of it. What do you guys think? Continue mission or abort immediately?

Oxygen

Oh also... does anyone know how to pull the wood trim off of the ashtray?

Quadcammer

never liked it, even in cars like my fathers sl55...definitely not the in S.

that said, i'm a traditionalist on this.

nice job though.

Looks like you did a good job, but I'm not a fan of the CF on these cars. My motorcycles, yes.

(Surprising, I know, right?!)

benzat17

good job but not a fan

ShangoAshe

+1 not a big fan of cf in a S-class

The S is a Luxury Sedan, which usualy means wood trim. That being said, i think it came out real good. Bottom line is, if you like it, then do it!

Oxygen

Very true, my only inspiration was the 2011 S65 AMG which comes with a mix of CF in the center console and black piano wood on the dashboard.

You have my vote. I like the look.
I am no traditionalist, though.

My personal opinion would be not cover too much with it, just some accent pieces...

Quadcammer

well I think a combination of carbon and wood is even worse.

if you're gonna do it, you gotta go ***** out.

MiamiAMG

Definitely.

ROFL, don't some of the posters here have chrome headlight rings

Oxygen

Those things are gross, along with the tail light chrome accents, door handle inserts and other items I classify as the "the eBay Style Package"

My favorite is the S-Class grill with the huge CL-type star in the middle AND the hood ornament.

Oxygen

I think this looks really nice...

Vabene7

That is exactly what I was referring to.
That interior looks stunning.

i think your car looks great! on a regular s class no... but yours looks unique with it..i would just do it all. goodluck post pictures when done thanks !

benzat17

dont forget this is a picture.. and yes it does look nice but with piano wood.. i always loved the piano wood special on the light interior just like yours

S-Clusiv

Wish I knew how to remove my headlight rings

Quadcammer

I can't really agree. An Sclass, first and foremost, (to me) is a luxury car. Luxury cars don't have exposed carbon fiber. I don't really care for piano wood either, since it looks just like shiny black plastic and smudges super easily.


there is a big difference between a grained wood that comes stock and piano wood.

Furthermore, his interior is gray. Gray with carbon fiber and piano wood looks a bit ricey to me, not to mention the variety of colors.

This is awesome....... I had a thread about this a few months back. Im glad you pulled the trigger and did it because now I am too!!

Vabene7

You say tomato......

Duc1098E500

I would say no to cf to a luxury car. if you are going that route atleast use real cf. Don't be cheap!

S-Clusiv

Why use real cf for something like this that you're simply experimenting with & may want to remove? The man bought an S65...Let's not use the 'C' word

Oxygen

Thank you! Like I said it's a trial.. Not "cheap" by any means!
