How much did it cost? Looks very nice, and looks like it would match a black exterior.

No kit, remove your trim pieces send them off to be done.

Mine was the first MB kit they had done, I bought a spare set of wood trim and sent them that.

The only difference will be the mirror switch cut out right?

Very nice. I like CF but that would be a little much for me.

I actually bought some cf overlay to put over the silver shifter bezel. Should be on mine soon.

You're probably mistaken. Seems on par for legit carbon pieces.

OP - Interior looks amazing! I can't wait to get mine done some day. Just have to find a part out for sone nasty Burl wood.

DCT is charging around that for all pieces (10 I can count) which I think is a great deal.

Check THIS PLACE out if you want pricey... Baller status

I know its expencive but it sure looks good.
