Maybe an old post, but your thoughts are welcome...... (it's doesn't belong to me by the way)

Wrong on so many levels. Who is he trying to fool? Though that steering wheel (sans the crudely glued on Maybach emblem) and dash do look nice, they remind me of the 500CE AMG.

That's disgusting.

say what you will but minus the hood ornament I like it.

Yep. Minus those extra badges and other assorted crappery, that would be a nice example of a 200D.

Nice and clean, but all the "Maybach" stuff makes it seem like a joke.

Admitedly, the recolored dash, steering wheel and center console are a nice touch, I always wondered what that would look like.

Did you notice he installed power windows in the front doors, but left the rear windows manual? And replacing the center arm rest with the same chrome plug he used in place of the front window cranks.

I kinda want that chrome edged wood trim. How can I get my hands on that?

You can buy all sorts of adhesive automotive trim.. different finishes, sizes, styles, etc.. It's probably the same as all the ghetto cruisers you see with every exterior line trimmed in "chrome", just more tastefully done. That, of course, is a matter of personal taste and opinion!

I think it's fine. I've grown up modifying vehicles to my taste or need. Someone's interpretation of a theme, why not, what if? It's better than that guy up in Ventura driving around with his High Spec euros installed on the wrong sides, (Makes them look upside down). I change my car all the time. I'm working on a change now. Change is Good! Besides, I'm running out of accessories to install.

It would have been fine if the Maybach logos were removed together with the hideous grille. Otherwise it's quite okay.

The dash trim could be using the mounts/backing for the black plastic trim, with wood or "wood grain" trim attached. Wouldn't mind finding one like the piece around the shifter boot on the console.
Anyone else notice the ashtray?

Modifying is one thing, but rebadging is something else. IMO this is like installing the Rolls Royce body kit on an air-cooled Bug. That doesn't make a VW a Rolls Royce, and this car still isn't a Maybach.
