yup,
i think we have all established that the eGay stickers are wack !
OEM is usually more $$$ more labor involved, but you get what you pay for.
One good OEM mod will eventually pay itself off, after you bought 7 pairs of eBay CF pillar stickers, that keep fading in the sun, and peeling over time.

I'm also looking for the OEM (cf look pillars) but for the Coupé. Not sure if they are the same size / fit.

How about calling "the rude German woman" and see if she can give you the part # ? :p

I just spit out my Coke.
i wouldn't dare call that "woman" back. She probably has me on "Call Block".
Although it would be funny to see how many times I can get her to hang the phone up on me in one hour !!!!

Just found out from the dealership that the OEM carbon fiber "look" pillars (on 2001-2002 sport sedans and C32's) are $262.08 per piece from MB of Bev. Hills. They said they couldn't give me part numbers, but that's insane. That means it's $1,048.32 to get a set of 4 for the Sedans. They didn't have any information for the coupes, so sorry I couldn't get that 411 for all the coupe owners.

The AMG C32 Sports Coupé did have real CF B-Pillars,
just like the US 2001-2002 C32 Sedans and C320 SS.
AMG C30 CDI Coupés did not however.
Don't worry, I'll get 'em soon enough, and let you know if you must know.
Got some other AMG engine parts coming as well from Affalterbach.

I'm a newb when it comes to the MB world, but I might know something about finding a very solid solution to those searching for CF pieces like this.
Are the stock door pillars readily available through the parts network? (not CF, just OEM replacement) If so, how much are they from the dealer?

Narek, i'm sure they look good on your car.
The ones I'm looking for are original OEM parts made for the C32 AMG SportsCoupé only in Europe. These won't be "stick-on" rather direct replacements of the ones that are on the car now.
Please post pics though... wanna see how they turned out !
Thanks to TWS by the way, who gave them for the raffle.
