Best place to get Al or Carbon Fiber trim?

I currently have the burlwood in my SL55 and am looking at trying to purchase the Aluminum or a Carbon fiber interior trim. What is the best place to get the interior trim from, Price wise?

I don't feel like spending 2-3-4-5 thousand dollars just on 4 pieces of metal/carbon fiber..

Thanks! However this price is still the same, $2100 (and is that only for the center console??). Anyone know of where you can get a full interior trim section for maybe $500? $1000? $1500? Over 2G's for 3 small pieces of aluminum sounds quite absurd, even for a car such as the SL55.

I'm sure you can get "stick on" overlays for much less, but I don't think you'll find the actual pieces for less than $2,000. I just swapped out the burlwood for black ashe trim and it set me back over $3,000 installed.

Awesome... If I have to spend $2100 I will (that burlwood trim was the worst car-interior-design decision i've ever seen..esp. on charcoal leather)..but that's still a pretty nutty price. I remember on my M3 cab. they only charged like $1600 for over 7 different pieces for real aluminum, or a carbon fiber trim.

I agree, it just doesn't look right on the 55. I like the carbon fiber or aluminum as well although the Mercedes sanded aluminum looks kinda like plastic.
