Replacing wood with carbon on 06 65??

Friend of mine just bought an 06 65 and after searching for months to find the right car he had to finally give on wood color.

He got the maple and he wants to change it to the carbon or maybe even the black ash.

Anyone ever done this? How musch does it cost and is it a difficult job?

thanks

I got mine MP design CF from here:
http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com/

Maybe 1-2 hour job. Just make sure You get new clips for the door so You dont get any rattle.

Looks beautiful!

I have 2004 but they have it for the 2005 as well.

Thank You!
I can tell that this steering wheel makes a world of difference how the car feels when I drive it hard.

Since you have invested so much in the car and the carbon fiber trim, I would suggest having somebody who knows the car real well do the swap. The door panels are about $2000 if you damage it, and the console and dash, don't even ask how much they are.
