[@David-n5q2v]

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

[@FoxRacer090]

Don’t think I woulda gone with the armrest cover just the idea of putting adhesive over leather is a no.

[@HowtoMakeThings]

It's imitation leather as in a type of pvc

[@EndofDays213]

I prefer the aluminum trim. I do like the speakers. Idk about cover stuff with carbon. I already the way the interior looks.

[@TheColdplayer16]

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

[@peluchesgarage]

Should've left the armrest alone and should've wrapped the center console carbon too to match it the dash

[@patrick1090]

Jay Amiri agree so that don’t make sense

[@stfu7800]

Hell, why not just wrap all of it..

[@zoidbergcod4]

Bro that carbon makes it look like a wannabe race car. I might put on those shift pedals though

[@pallepoulsen7121]

Speaker covers are fine.. Please remove the rest again

[@LootboyQ]

I would switch out the Burmester tweeter cover for the rotating 3D tweeter instead. And finally I would get some ambient lighting underneath the chrome trim (above the glove compartment). It's apparently possible to get these to match the existing ambient lighting. Oh and probably get some more colours than the stock 3 colours. (I'm crossing my fingers that you'll do these mods, so I can see how to do it haha)

[@Abher-hc2wb]

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.

[@MarioDuran-OPS]

I think that all that tape in a black leather interior plus the hot sun are a bad mix

[@ditocarnido5818]

The speaker covers are nice but the double sided tape doesn’t stick

[@SuperMatrix59]

Dito Carnido you need to enforce it with the darker tape. Heat it hot. It will stick.

[@KG-ut7kl]

I would change steering wheel cuz i dont like this one but it's big money stuff

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I'll be doing a few steering wheel upgrades soon

[@TheLoneDude]

looks pretty cool. 😎

[@merdzhanmehmedov4963]

No hate bro, but the only thing i like is the black dashbord trim the rest is ricer-ish

[@nelly15]

Carbon looked sick. I’ve only applied some around the window controls so I’m definitely considering the console now. Not a fan of the speaker covers. Just my personal taste.

[@topo520]

Nelson Segarra wood grain is the best. Better than carbon fiber

[@kkkayzee]

not a fan of the carbon over the leather or the carbon at all for that matter, the speaker covers above the door panel on the pillars look sweet though nice, subtle and clean... the carbon looks too forced and doesnt do anything for the car, if your gonna do the the paddle shifters red maybe just wrap the aluminum trim red to accent it all would keep it clean and you can do the insets in the door too and would make your center ash wood really pop

[@luisdiaz7914]

Superb!

[@peterespinoza4367]

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?

[@roysalman6720]

it would make sense your sacrificing function for form

[@МихаилБагдасаров-т3м]

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.

[@unlockingwealth777]

Nice

[@DrZoom2023]

Where did u get the center dash trim from i have 2018 amg c43 ?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Look in the video description

[@sohailqalandari4160]

Nice job man

[@karelp5358]

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?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

yes

[@openwheelracing88]

There is no tweeter in the tweeter housing

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I know. The cover is purely for looks and compliment the silver trim on the steering wheels. The covers look better than a basic black piece of plastic.

[@ppaulinemetoyer1559]

Nice I like that how do purchase it

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Check description

[@kevinkevin6767]

what is the part you took off called @ 2:57?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

This is the part number (I think) A2056803711 www.ebay.com/itm/274388803680

[@onealsanchez3746]

Flexx Alexander Hi, I like your videos a lot bro...I wish I had the guts to take things apart I just can’t do that! I wish you’d live close by so I could learn in person. Keep up the good work and stay safe during this times.

[@parklung2391]

Where to buy that item?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Look in the description

[@ulugbeknurmatov8319]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@Kaytsooo]

Video upgrade displej.

[@dino.o.g9538]

Just wanted to be the 100th comment lol

[@elidorbajrami8642]

How can you change w213 avantgard too amg w213 bumper

[@visionaryentertainment1431]

I don't like it , can't beat oem parts

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I’ve already went back to the dealership 4 times because oem parts were worn/ defective. So yeah, there are stuff that beats oem parts.

[@sebatallah1148]

these people have no clue what there talking about i think THIS SHIT TURNED OUT SICK ASF AND UR GOING TO MAKE ME DO IT

[@stfu7800]

They’re not really parts per se... more like part covers

[@stfu7800]

Also.., oem parts suck half the time... where have u been ?

[@-solo5003]

i’ll never understand people who have hard ons for oem everything. What a boring way to own anything. Quit being so basic and customize your car to your own personality and liking. People who keep everything oem are basic af people with boring personalities.

[@anthonyfreda1040]

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

[@mmacphersonn]

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.

[@bobhasan5150]

Please make a video on how to upgrade the speakers to premium

[@SteCollects]

Probably better off upgrading to something else

[@andreyoleksiv4043]

These cars came with premium speakers. Called an option

[@joshhames5100]

He has just bought the speaker covers

[@jpbarrera9588]

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

[@HowtoMakeThings]

Not leather. Imitation.

[@bartzeegers3663]

I like the armest being so soft from factory. Carbon no thanku

[@ErykJaszkimModelMaker]

The only thing really acceptable for me are the speaker covers as they’re close to OEM. The rest is ricer-ish.

[@DustinDerCheckerNr1]

I love the look! Question: Isn’t the carbon a bit uncomfortable to put your arms on it?

[@joea1746]

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.

[@walkingthedistance]

Everything is nice except for the carbon fiber armrest.

[@brandonstanley739]

U trippin

[@loko8863]

Ruined a perfectly good car.

[@AM-xf8mu]

Sorry besides the speaker covers, the rest made the car worse

[@Cmikul25g]

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....

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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"

[@lukesurtees2211]

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.

[@engineer4life]

My 2 cents: Both shift paddle extension & Aluminium’s Loudspeaker cover is cool but not the carbon fibre lookalikes panels

[@supratt3665]

Agree with that...

[@rorydickson2824]

Ruined that car

[@supremestleader]

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

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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

[@fernandozaragoza2497]

personally I would’ve gone with carbon paddle shift extensions but sick video!

[@killerkett]

this carbon fiber things fits on BMW's not on mercedes

[@shiestysrt454]

Why not 😂

[@jonothandoeser]

Agreed.

[@oscararechiga6829]

Mercedes is all about wood and leather

[@MarioDuran-OPS]

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.

[@berniecruz8405]

Bro, are you going to upgrade the screen to the 10.25" android touchscreen on your W205?

[@colinc52]

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 👍🏻

[@maxpayne_ger]

Isnt the carbon armrest cover uncomfortale? I like Leather more...

[@tylerwhite1815]

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.

[@stfu7800]

Im glad u like them... me ,however, im usually trying to debadge my cars..

[@akimbo6225]

Carbon armrest looks nice but elbows will glide and hurt so i stick to leather

[@TheFlexxGarage]

still have it on and no problem at all

[@AhmedElsayed-ox1db]

Flex you have to upgrade for the burmester tweeters😍😍

[@jimmypetelol]

sorry if someone has asked before, what is the long-term impact to the leather for those double tapes?

[@piotrbw5498]

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.

[@stfu7800]

i have red seatbelts and red stitching in my c43.. red ones look wicked in my interior

[@christeder]

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.

[@adamdowning100]

I also remember when I was 12 and was obsessed with carbon fibre too.. 😂😂

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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

[@emmagyamfi8686]

I will leave the armrest and the brush aluminum and the dashboard.

[@mattyoung5369]

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.

[@MVM7684]

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

[@AlenIsaac86]

it looks dope!! specially paddle shifters, i would suggest adding red engine start button cover that would go well with paddle shifters. :)

[@ABAUTOAMG]

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.

[@slavtune]

No. Unless this is a quality direct replacement, please don't do this to a mercedes

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

I wouldnt change anything looks great just the way you did it.

[@nemesida]

I don't like it. But it's personal opinion. I wouldn't want any cheap plastic replicas added, unless it serves protection purpose.

[@rdvancoban5230]

is it only me that hates that carbonfiber look materials? the actual carbonfiber has at least weight advantage despite ugly look. but why put a fake carbonfiber lookalike plastic ?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Cause some people wanna do it so I’m gonna show what’s possible on this car. My KZbin channel and mods are not to please everyone. They are to show what’s possible. Some will hate, some will like…it’s all about possibilities versus no video at all.

[@rdvancoban5230]

@@TheFlexxGarage my word was not to you personally, but was more generally speaking. Nothing about you making videos of possibilities, I follow your vids in the end for that reason.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Same. Mine is not directly at you. People read these comments and I just wanna make sure they know why I did things in my videos. I like carbon overlays if they look like real carbon. Especially when covering up silver or brown wood trim. There are some cheap looking fake looking carbon out there. I’m not a huge fan of those but again, I did it just to show someone who might like it.

[@mygodisable2]

Wow !!! What a difference an upgrade makes. I like it. Good job, Flexx.

[@jjvidtn]

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.

[@angelionescuify]

There is also matt silver option that I bought and is not reflective...looks really cool

[@K7raz]

How do u get rid of it? I want to remove it but it sticks pretty hard.

[@weixiangtan6701]

Hi did adding these covers affect the sound produced in any way? Thanks in advance for the replies!

[@angelionescuify]

What I like and I also did upgrade to my car is the speaker grill....I don’t like carbon style stickers...

[@dpravesh5361]

Looks cool, however, add the carbon inserts onto the door panels as well. OCD is getting to me here.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nahh. Want to keep dark wood grain look with carbon.

[@rodwave2238]

Flex u should add the 64 color mod and u should Change the air vents

[@EVH3730]

I really like the stainless steel corner mounted speaker covers!! Not really pleased with the carbon you put in the center storage box. It looks lower in quality and it is too much. The dashboard carbon upgrades are Ok.

[@supremecarnage5071]

Wait do the new surround sound mods change the audio or just for looks

[@scottlewis4391]

Supreme Carnage they’re just covers to make it look like it’s the Burmester sound system

[@amberchantell]

You did that! Looks really good.

[@lisandrososa7667]

Excelente tutorial amigo! Quedó muy bien el Mercedes. Felicitaciones desde Argentina.

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

Dope mods bro!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheFlexxGarage]

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.

[@glamisjim]

Looks good can’t wait for your install of the diamond grill

[@TheMrgeorge81]

Gives it so much more Elegance

[@rsx2k2]

U can prob use a heat gun to warm up that cf piece and mold it.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Not worth it. When I put it inside, it’s pretty deep in there and almost hard to even tell it’s there. You’d have to know what you’re looking for to notice it, as a passenger.

[@JRPMYR]

Why would you add Burmester speaker covers when the stereo system is not a Burmester? It’s like adding AMG badges to non AMG cars. Cosplay for cars. And why the paddle shifter extensions? These shifters move with the wheel unlike my Alfa’s that do not, which is why the shifters are large so you can hit them while the wheel is turned.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yeah buddy. Not even comparable. And the shifter extenders don’t get in the way. My wife drives the car and she hasn’t complained once and loves the look.

[@K7raz]

@@TheFlexxGarage the burmester cover looked so much better then just a black thing. as long as you dont "lie" to people thats a real burmester. I dont see any problem here.

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

Flexx Alexander why they still hating bro? 😂😂 DON’T get it

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Ehh. Everyone has their opinions...I just wish they would make an educated opinion versus just hating and running with it. And AMG badge is not that same as a speaker cover with tiny letters on it that most people won’t even notice.

[@beinganimallover9292]

J Peterson soo what if he put burmester speaker covers! Why does it bothers you! He can do wtv he wants! All the paragraph you wrote! Does not make sence some ppl dont really care if its amg or not! Still they like to modify they cars! Still the guys has a benz! Not a Civic! 😂

[@ACURATL813]

It made a big difference on the interior I like it

[@aldinondatrack9208]

LOOKS PERFECT 🔥🔥

[@andreprocel9375]

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.

i like the amg but dont like that kind of tacky wood they put in

Agreed

awesome!!

[@aaronpoisson]

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?

[@panagiwtisleousis8991]

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

[@Sagaris380]

I;m confused. The start and end of the video you are in a different car. one has paddles the other does not.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Why does it matter. I shot my intro and outro in my other car. I could of been on my couch for my intro and outro and you guys wouldn’t say anything.

[@stfu7800]

If you observed that then why are you confused? Its two different cars

[@martinliska4248]

@@stfu7800 I mean I was wondering what the deal was myself as well. Nobody said there was any problems with you shooting in a different car Flexx..it was just confusing cause the car in the outro also has the metal speaker covers so I thought it must be the same as the car you installed the upgrades on but then didnt see the paddles so it took me a sec to figure out what was going on hahah love the vids Flexx keep it up man

[@wahibamrani3672]

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

Do the speakers covers effect the sound of the speakers at all?
