Installed: Mode Carbon Black Series/507 Hood Vents

Here are some better photos of my beautiful new Mode Carbon C63 Black Series/507 carbon fiber hood vents. In my opinion this is the way the car should have left the factory in Germany. Easy to install and the fit is perfect. The color, carbon weave and finish is a perfect match for the factory carbon. They really add a dramatic and aggressive look to an already aggressive looking car. I also included a "before" photo showing the boring stock vents just for comparison.

Agreed, these vents are a must on any light colored black series/507. Looks incredible!

On red I still think I prefer body colored and on black, well, whats the point

Wow, amazing car!
I would have ordered the C63BS exactly this way, congratulations.
I hope I will be able to see your stable in reality, your collection is very impressive.

The factory ones are plastic with the metal mesh, the Mode Carbon ones are carbon with the metal mesh, I am sure the Mode cf ones are lighter but we are talking about ounces, the factroy ones probably weigh just a pound for the pair.


I also want to add that just like the factory vents the Mode Carbon vents are fully function heat extracting vents.

I have an AMG GT-S on the way so the SL might have to wait but there will be an SL65 BS in my collection in the near future.

Get an SL65BS and make it nuts man, that platform is begging to be made into a monster. Not to mention one of the best looking cars ever made. Esp in person. Wow. Do it!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I agree they look great.

Here is a link to their site for anyone interested in ordering a set

http://www.modecarbon.com/collections/

or PM Nicholas @modecarbon here on MB World as they are sponsor/vendors here.

I am looking forward to working with them on some custom cf bits for my new AMG GT when it arrives late this coming winter.

^ Just saw the release photos on facebook of the car.

I feel like the SLS is a bit more raw looking and the GT-S has sort of a soft, elegant look to it.

I'll be curious to see which car you end up preferring in the long run. Keep us updated on that. I assume you're also going to basically drop it off at Weistec the day you pick it up?

Yes, it will be going to Weistec for some massaging right quick. Also going to be working with Mode Carbon on some cf aero bits so Mode might actually get their hands on it before Weistec so they can scan it and take measurments. The car definately needs a more aggressive aero package.
