Swapping Wood Trim

My wife and I are considering a car with a stone interior. We are not too excited by the light (Blonde) colored wood trim.We prefer the walnut/darker trim. It seems that there are 4 pieces of wood, 1 on each door, 1 around the console and the wood wheel. Has any one ever change the wood trim? What was the expense and is the trim only availabe from MB ? Thanks

trim is available from Mercedes but your sure to over pay. When I changed mine to carbon fiber I got it from Ivan at DCT Motorspôrts. There a sponsor on here and I've had nothing but good experiences with him and his company.
