I really dropped when the dealer gave me a price on the center console wood and right front pax door trim wood. I asked a Mercedes mech which style mine was burl or neg and he said "pine". Well if anyone has a suggestion for me I certainly could use it. Thanks

You need to find some decent used ones, then spruce them up a bit with a coat or two of spar varnish. I believe the wood pattern is commonly referred to as "zebrano".

listen, look, .........and duck.

The center console almost looks simple enough to make out of wood. The door trim is much more complex. Not many junk yards I have found with my model yet, but I've only gone to a few. Thanks again
