    Default SL R230 55 AMG- Exterior Carbon Fiber Accents w/ Wood Interior ok??

    Need some honest opinions from anyone...Been wanting to spice up my SL Exterior a bit, and thinking of a front CF Spoiler and Rear CF Diffuser..I wouldnt hesitate BUT..

    My whole interior has wood accents, and I do like it..Steering wheel, Center console, Door Trim, Shift knob..Car is silver.

    I feel like it would have two themes going with the CF on the outside and Wood on inside...??? I dont want to change the interior to CF.

    Pics are of the spoiler and diffuser would look like.. thanks anyone.

    IMO, it wouldnt be two separate themes. What I do know is that those carbon splitters are sex. Stock rims on the car too?

    Wouldn't hesitate one second on throwing the CF bits on the exterior.

    Honestly, if your are going for a CF exterior I would also change the interior to Aluminum (will also look great with the grey interior). IMO the grey interior and wood is very boring - it reminds me of a old mans car.

    I think it will be fine. Carbon on an AMG is fine, as long as you keep it subtle like what you posted pics of. If you did carbon hood and deck lid, i would change the interior. The pieces you showed are very factory option looking.

    I think it's your car and if you like the carbon accents on the outside and luxury look in the inside then go for it. It's YOUR vehicle do your own thing
