But doesn’t the carbon fiber on the armrest defeat the purpose of an armrest? And wouldn’t the tape ruin the leather? Just a question.
Don’t think I woulda gone with the armrest cover just the idea of putting adhesive over leather is a no.
It's imitation leather as in a type of pvc
Please make a video on how to upgrade the speakers to premium
Probably better off upgrading to something else
These cars came with premium speakers. Called an option
He has just bought the speaker covers
I’m just letting you know my
Opinion, I fkng hate the carbon fiber center console. Few things: it’s ridiculous no car manufacture would ever put that as a center console and it seems uncomfortable to elbows and the real leather with stitching looks so much more appealing. I get the speaker covers and the carbon fiber trim on the dash, but that it’s just overkill in a bad way. It does not make you wife’s car look more sportier it makes it look like one of those ridiculous training shoes
I like the armest being so soft from factory. Carbon no thanku
Cheezin up a classy interior. OEM carbon packages are clean but these stick ons dont ever look that good. And on center console thats gonna be an awful arm rest compared to leather, plus with wood grain and leather, cf doesnt fit the scheme, so youd have go change everything or none imo
Why would you ruin the leather with those plastic "carbon fiber" armrests? The speaker covers are cool and that paddle shifter extensions look like they came out of a fast & furious pt. 1 car. An S class just committed suicide for this bro
Not leather. Imitation.
The only thing really acceptable for me are the speaker covers as they’re close to OEM. The rest is ricer-ish.
Everything is nice except for the carbon fiber armrest.
U trippin
I love the look!
Question: Isn’t the carbon a bit uncomfortable to put your arms on it?
I have to agree with DdAaVvliDd and Cmikul25g. Putting fake carbon on the center armrest with white stitching takes away from the vehicle. The covers on the speakers was a nice touch it blends with the other chrome buttons on the door. Not a fan of those red paddles shifters.
Im sorry but the carbon just looks cheap af. The speaker covers are cool 😂 I have the Burmester. So maybe I’ll get the upper cover
The interior of the car is perfect already. I removed the center console all the way and lined the inside wi RGB LEDs and it looks awsome. All the car needs is some ambient lighting.
personally I would’ve gone with carbon paddle shift extensions but sick video!
Sorry besides the speaker covers, the rest made the car worse
I prefer the aluminum trim. I do like the speakers. Idk about cover stuff with carbon. I already the way the interior looks.
I also remember when I was 12 and was obsessed with carbon fibre too.. 😂😂
And it’s still an obsession in the car community…it’s just more affordable now and there’s alot of fake stuff that looks really good. Even carbon fiber vinyl looks real AF now. I could care less for “weight savings”…I just love the look. Lol
Bro that carbon makes it look like a wannabe race car. I might put on those shift pedals though
Great video mate, I’m personally not a fan of the bright red paddleshifter things not the carbon effect arm rest covers. In my opinion the covers make what should be a soft comfortable place to rest your arm into a rock sold uncomfortable surface . I do however like the tweeter covers, I have the upgraded audio and I’m going to try and do the same as you. But we all have our own tastes, likes and dislikes, so if you like it, it works for you and that’s what matters
In my new videos, I actually replaced the red paddles with silver ones but now i have a new carbon steering wheel. The carbon on the armrest actually is fine. Doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all. I get compliments on it all the time by passengers too. Lol
sorry if someone has asked before, what is the long-term impact to the leather for those double tapes?
Hi flex,thank you for the video,quick question how can remove the dash panel trim and replace it the a embien dash panel on c300
Should I remove the screen or I can go around it
Thank you
My 2 cents: Both shift paddle extension & Aluminium’s Loudspeaker cover is cool but not the carbon fibre lookalikes panels
Agree with that...
Wow !!! What a difference an upgrade makes. I like it. Good job, Flexx.
You did that! Looks really good.
Should've left the armrest alone and should've wrapped the center console carbon too to match it the dash
Jay Amiri agree so that don’t make sense
Hell, why not just wrap all of it..
Hi, can tell me where the video is that you changed out the centre console and radio please? Thanks
Where did you get the one for the dash? I don’t see it in the description, thanks in advance!
Looks good can’t wait for your install of the diamond grill
Gives it so much more Elegance
I purchased similar metal speaker covers for my w204, sadly it was one of the many mods I didn't get to do before I swapped out to a w205. I think the update looks great! I have the same wood trim for my center stack but there's a couple marks on it - do you think getting one of those furniture wood markers to touch-up the scratches would work?
Bro, are you going to upgrade the screen to the 10.25" android touchscreen on your W205?
Does anyone know if I upgrade the center console to a console with the analog clock and touch pad, will there be any compatibility issues??
finally disagree with some mods.....good video but seems like installing everything you can find for the sake of doing it ...sometimes less is more. To each his own. Still waiting on the diffuser video....
It's called being a test rabbit for everyone who is considering these mods. Some will like it, some don't. I don't just do mods for my own sake. I think of everyone. That's why this channel is hit with the benz community. I'm actually helping..not just "showing off"
you really did a full 180 on the interior bro good shit!! making me want to do this on my car
LOOKS PERFECT 🔥🔥
Excelente tutorial amigo! Quedó muy bien el Mercedes. Felicitaciones desde Argentina.
Nice mods.. 🔥 I have all the same mods too it really does change up the whole interior I even got the whole Carbon center piece.
It made a big difference on the interior I like it
Defo not a fan of the red paddles or the armrest carbon, keep the soft leather dude!! Speaker covers look decent. Not sure on the dash carbon either, I like the brushed aluminium in mine personally.
I wouldnt change anything looks great just the way you did it.
This is really dope man. Not going to lie, gonna have to steal some of those. But here are some things I've added to my interior that maybe you can check out too!
-Mercedes Benz seat belt strap
-Mercedes Benz logo cup holder inserts
-Mercedes Benz logo stickers to cover the touch knob in the center
I got them all on Amazon for rather cheap and it really makes a difference.
Im glad u like them... me ,however, im usually trying to debadge my cars..
Flex you have to upgrade for the burmester tweeters😍😍
Very nice video and with little money you can make your star very beautiful.I m astonished from the simplicity of the upgrade but very useful.thank you a lot
Like your video & the way, work you‘ve done it!! The carbon parts are Not my style, but the speaker aplications are looking so good!!! Good job amigo
Isnt the carbon armrest cover uncomfortale? I like Leather more...
Nice job mate, looking good. Although the arm rest carbon looks great are they not uncomfortable when resting your arm? I use mine quite a bit on motorway cruising.
The arm rest one, myself not prefer, it might damage the lather when removed, and is confy. Overall is what i wanted to do too 👍🏻
Hi Flexx I love your videos. I'm planning to buy a w205. Do you plan to change the car audio screen for a 10,2 inches Android in this model?
yes
I like it; would prefer to have that done to my c43 as well.
So you add Burmester without Burmester sound system? Now need to aware of that the car actually have the Burmester (If I want to buy I need to double check it) :D Overall great video and idea + helps against wear. I have and had before the E class models... I like the size of the car. But what's your own experience with C class? If usually max 2 people in the car then its not that big dealbreaker for rear passengers I believe (since there is not that big room space). I'm 184.5cm myself.
Superb!
it looks dope!! specially paddle shifters, i would suggest adding red engine start button cover that would go well with paddle shifters. :)
Nice look
I purposely bought a glc without the burmester system because I prefer the black covers and it still sounds good! Each to their own
Loved it!!
Could you do a steering wheel wrap video on this one?
Thanks and keep it up
Speaker covers are fine.. Please remove the rest again
I did the paddle shift extenders but opted for the silver color, they are ACTUAL SOLID METAL (aluminum I believe) and REALLY complement the look of the rest of the interior, best mod you can do for cheap. Really makes the paddles satisfying to click too. Hey Flexx, do you think you would maybe consider adding some splash guards to the car? I’ve noticed that my W205 gets splatters/buildup really bad where the real wheel sticks out a bit past the rear bumper and I’m starting to think it’s a worthwhile mod.
i have my 2014 e350. any link for the carbon fiber armrest?
My link in the description is only the C300. You will need to search on ebay or amazon for the carbon fiber armrest for your car.
Where did u get the center dash trim from i have 2018 amg c43 ?
Look in the video description
Hey, can i put this all in my 2014 mercedes w205 220d ?
Probably.
awesome!!
trop bien ! joli travail
Dope mods bro!! 🔥🔥🔥
I thought it would shitty but came our pretty decent. And wife likes it. Might change the red paddle shifter to carbon to match the other pieces.
The burmester cover looked nice. On amazon theres a matte silver and a gloss silver. Which one do u recommend getting?
Matte is better. i did a mistake and bought gloss silver.
Looks dope!!
Do the speakers covers effect the sound of the speakers at all?
No
Looks great
Fabulous!!!
Carbon armrest looks nice but elbows will glide and hurt so i stick to leather
still have it on and no problem at all
I think that all that tape in a black leather interior plus the hot sun are a bad mix
looks pretty cool. 😎
Clean
hey I was wondering if i can pay you to install the ambient lights and new screen or can you point me in the right direction ?
Yes a lot of tuning shops do it
I will leave the armrest and the brush aluminum and the dashboard.
Ruined a perfectly good car.
Hi Flexx, with the speaker covers, did you notice any difference in the sound? I recently installed it over my speakers but it feels like the sound of the music gets muffled a little, I'm wondering if you experienced this?
it would make sense your sacrificing function for form
installed mine recently, exactly the same as on the vid. Was worried about the same thing. Was pleasantly surprised after installing: the sound didn’t seem to suffer at all.
Hey Flexx would love to see the upgrade to Burmester 3d tweeters also you could do the after market ambient lighting kit with the obd install for the system as well. Just a thought.
Hey Flexx did you have issues with the triangle aluminum speaker cover not sticking? The angled cover towards the rear of the speaker does not stay put and is no longer staying in place.
One side was fine, one wasn’t. I had to cut some double sided 3M tape and line the inside of the one that didn’t stick well.
CryptoJimmy Hey, had the same problem. Solution: just bend the cover a little bit until it matches the speaker perfectly.
Wait do the new surround sound mods change the audio or just for looks
Supreme Carnage they’re just covers to make it look like it’s the Burmester sound system
Thanks for the video Flexx. Do the speaker covers affect the sound of the stereo at all?
Nope. Not at all.
I just got a c300 sport do they all run over the middle for the thermostat?
Yess they do I got mine 3 days ago
Yeah they do
Anyone know what size Torx screws are in the center?
15
I think paddle shifters extensions should be in the same colour as paddle shifters, I did extensions in my c63 w204 in silver colour and it is much better in my opinion.
i have red seatbelts and red stitching in my c43.. red ones look wicked in my interior
Hey,
Will the arm rest covers fit a 2017 c300 coupe?
Not sure. Sorry.
Yeah they will
Nice
The speaker covers are nice but the double sided tape doesn’t stick
Dito Carnido you need to enforce it with the darker tape. Heat it hot. It will stick.
The doors are left and right with the carbon inserts. The straight pieces fit almost flat. Especially on a sedan, they should tell you there is a Left and right sticker. (Ruined my first set a long tone ago)
I like this where I can find this
As mentioned in the video, look in the video description.
is it possible to swap the C200 2017 Head Unit with the newer 2019 C200 Head Unit?
No
this carbon fiber things fits on BMW's not on mercedes
Why not 😂
Agreed.
Mercedes is all about wood and leather
What I like and I also did upgrade to my car is the speaker grill....I don’t like carbon style stickers...
Nice I like that how do purchase it
Check description
Hi, flexx George from San Juan , Puerto Rico. I will like to know are to get the Inespensive ugrades for my MB.
The only thing I did on my 2018 GLC (very similar interior) that you did was put on the round silver speaker covers-not that I was trying to pretend I had a higher-level speaker system but that it just really looks better. I wouldn't mind a set without the speaker name, but I couldn't find one like that. I found the side silver covers too much, though, and too reflective on the windows. I also tried a silver speaker cover on the flat dashboard speaker, and though it looked great, it was WAY too reflective on the windshield, so I got rid of that one real fast. I can't see covering up my leather parts, though, with anything else.
There is also matt silver option that I bought and is not reflective...looks really cool
How do u get rid of it? I want to remove it but it sticks pretty hard.
Hi did adding these covers affect the sound produced in any way? Thanks in advance for the replies!
Good show!! I have a 2015 C300, and am now looking at adding some Mods to it. Thanks for the suggestions/links🙏🏿!
Where to buy that item?
Look in the description
Great vid mate thanks. I have a 2019 c43 with the black gloss centre console and I'm going to wrap it in carbon soon.
Flex u should add the 64 color mod and u should Change the air vents
Ruined that car
Pretty Clean, love the paddle extenders too. Hey would you mind including your toolkit in the description as well?
check in the description in my last video on the wireless charger
@@TheFlexxGarage thank you.
