W203 Carbon Fiber Door Pillar

I found this on ebay. Does anyone here have this on their car. Does anyone know the quality of this product and is it real carbon fibre? Do you guys think this is a good deal item? Will it make a great difference to the car exterior? Thanx in advance. Here is a a picture and a link below.

I had a version of these things on my last car. Mine were real CF (not sure about these) and honestly, I loved them...99% of people didn't even notice.

I got the idea when we bought our C280 Sport a few years back. The pillars had fake CF on them.

i believe a certain brabus car has those. espumoto (i think thats how you spell his tag). im also iffy on how they apply them. glueing them over the current ones is not my flavor.

yeah i got thoes....i just recently took them off.... but yes the are REAL carbon fiber.... when i was taking it off it kept snaping. some advice.....

if you put it on ur car... make sure u love it because it aint comming off.... when u take it off it looks very bad under which mean you have to repaint it. i took mine off because im repainting my car.

Then why spend that kind of money for such a subtle change? Unless you have other CF exterior features, this addition will look odd IMO. How much hp will it add?

i have them

i have them on my car, they're not that bad. you dont have to replace the door pilar, its basically a pretty thick sticker that sticks pretty good. i dont know how else to put. it looks like real cf. but you have to make sure you put them on right so you dont show any creases or anything.

looks good on a black car

...sorry, Jerry!

but I think his' peeling because he tried to removed it to adjust it.

carlssoncclass, no, the ones on the C32/pre-03 sport pkg B-pillar are not real carbon fiber. They are made to look that way. It's still a nice detail tho. I like it better than the shinny ones.

THANK YOU FOR ALL

Thanx to all of you who reply to this thread.
I am not sure if i should get the one on ebay or the one on the c32. I have to check the pricing with my dealer first. However one last question is , the one on the c32 is it stick on too or I have to change the whole thing?
Thanks in advance.

you'll have to replace the whole b-pillar trim. It's not like those stick on on the eBay if that's what you meant to ask. Just look for the part number for the 01-02 sport pkg or the part # for the C32 either one will work.

Does anyone know if the one I linked 3 posts up is a sticker that you apply over the pillar, or a panel that you swap the original with
