It looks and feels awfully like plastic to me.

the "fake wood saga" was with the SLK, and that was just a rumor. All other wood is real, take it off and you'll see. The clear coat ontop is a varnish that keeps it shiny, protected from the sun, and looking good for 10 plus years. If you take a look at a older mercedes (ie 123 diesel) that has been left in the sun, you can see the mising varnish in some places and the real wood comming through

Mercedes wood trim isnt fake as far as I know. And no, You dont have to be worried anymore.. CF 'Vinyl' <==(BIG HINT HERE) is FAKE. :D :D

Here is a lil ghetto way... vinyl it..and spray it with clear coat (at least twice). It'll come out better than stock 'CF' trim on benz. :)
