Here at Dime Racing, we have been hard at work to develop aerospace level carbon fiber components for street applications. Utilizing the same technology you see in aerospace and formula one, we have developed many items for the AMG GT.

Many AMG GT customers have common complaints. Why is the engine bay so bare compared to the SLS and why isn't there any factory carbon options for the engine bay.

We have developed a simple asthetic upgrade to the engine bay by producing a carbon fiber engine cover, and airboxes. These are factory replacements that are very simple to install and give the engine bay a great look.






Priced at $999.00 for the Carbon Fiber Engine Cover, and $1,199.00 for the Carbon Fiber Airboxes, this gives the amazing M178 engine the look it deserves!

We would be happy to assist with any technical questions here on the forum or via email at tech@dimerd.com.

Thank you!

Definite improvement! Maybe bundle with a tune package?!

AMG 17GT

Price making sense here, as opposed to 4K on C63.

Is there increased volume in the boxes? Any heat dissipation advantage?

looks nice

As an aside, kind of odd that we aren't actually covering the engine. It's as if the engine is playing peek-a-boo.

Can the 'real' aluminum engine cover also be replaced with CF...or at least better integrated somehow with this? Maybe that's just too much of a good thing and best left isolated....dunno.

I would love to replace the internal brace thats behind the seats by the parcel shelf.

Wish i specced the carbon version, but i cheaped out.

Thinking was that anything behind my head, or under the bonnet added little visual value ...... how little did i know

The cover you are referring to is made of steel. There is a lot of heat in this area of the engine due to the placement of the turbochargers. It would require very expensive and exotic composite material (this material doesn't have aesthetic appeal as well). We decided to leave this as is.

We hope this helps. Thanks!

The C63 airboxes are a complete redesign with a larger number of parts included. These also have advantages in terms of power output.

The AMG GT parts are simple replacements. Heat dissipation is negligible.

There was an opportunity here.

Paradise lost......

SLS parts??? 😁 https://mbworld.org/forums/sls-amg-g...bon-fiber.html

Thank you for the share! Given just the front engine bay cover is nearly $2,000 from a third party and isn't standard on the AMG, we can further understand why customers complain about it!

if you come across one of these make the mold, make the mold!

Looks phenomenal!

Agreed. For those GT/s's without the factory central CF insert (under the engine builder's plaque), this 3-piece 'surround' is a better overall aesthetic.
