I have a 95sl500 and I have added quite a lot of burlwood trim.  My  source 
is Performance Products in California.   Good company to deal  with.   They 
have a web site and a catalog just for mercedes  items.  
_http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com_ (http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com/) 
So far I have added a burlwood steering wheel, Shift Knob, instrument  
cluster and also across the dash.  I want to do the center console (I  have been 
told the sl600 will fit, but have not been able to find a used  600).  
Performance Produces  wants 600+ for one peice and 400 for  the roll top.  
If you find a used source, let me know

Hi Bob- thanks for the response.   
I have Performance's catalog, also have communicated with Schatz  and Eris 
Design who have similar product lines.  I remember a couple  of years ago I 
found the website of another German company that  manufactured wood trim parts.  
Their products were as nice as the others,  but their prices were much better.  
In fact, they had a program whereby the  more you bought, the better the 
price became.  I had another R129 at the  time (since sold) and as I recall I 
could buy all the things I wanted for  less than $2000.  This included wood & 
leather steering wheel, entire  console in wood, instrument cluster,  door panel 
and dashboard  pieces.  At the time, this was many hundreds of dollars less 
than the same  parts from Performance.  Unfortunately, I have since lost the info 
from  this company and was hoping that someone on the R129 list would know of 
 them.
