Another option is carbon fiber wrapping (if you are a do-it-yourself person - this can be done).

There are many choices

All depends on where you live?

A google search for local car detailers or ask your local MB dealer for references should get you to the right places (I hope)

I believe a company called dct motorsports will take your parts as cores and send you redone pieces, I believe I emailed them and they quoted me 1000 for console and door and another 1250 for the shifter and steering wheel, this was some time ago, not sure if that pricing is right, but they responded quickly and I think that amgfan got his steering wheel there

Nice job! if you can put some decorative stitching around the edge then the alcantara sections will be more "stand out" and may be AMG logo stitching on ashtray cover! Anyways, clean job done!

FreshTAMPON,

First of all, great username! lol Great job on the interior trim with suede!

I was wondering where you got the suede or Alcantara fabric from? Also, what color is this as I have shopped around and seen Black and Deep Black.

Lastly, did you glue this down? if so, what kind of adhesive did you use?

Thanks!
