carbon fiber interior parts?

Does anyone know where I can get real carbon fiber parts to replace all the silver aluminium panels on the interior of my C55?

From what I've gathered, the only place that sells what I'm looking for is AMG Manufaktur and they don't sell to the US.

i'm sure these parts can't be hard too hard to make and if a special someone (euroteck) is already making a cf hood...maybe if enough people are interested they'll make some cf interior parts as well

Sure, call Meridian, Renntech has a sick carbon fiber kit. I was there yesturday and they just did an SL55 - it looks so good and the steering wheel is sick!
The only problem is $$$$$$$$$

9k? Thats just a damn joke. I mean its great if your making millions but it just doesn't make sense to me. Why not offer the parts at reasonable costs and actually make more money by volume. Is it because then it is not as exclusive? I don't know. Someone come out with some normal priced kits and take over

just got my "performanceproducts4benz" catalog and they have a pretty nice carbon fiber kit in there. there wasn't any price in the catalog but i'm sure it's much more reasonable than renntech.

Well I guess Kleeman is out of the question...this is what they said:

We do indeed offer carbon fiber conversions for your interior. Our package includes all piece which are aluminum in your car. The price for the conversion is $6800.00 plus shipping. The trim from your vehicle must be removed and sent to our USA headquarters, where I then send it to the World Headquarters in Denmark. The trim is then stripped and hand covered in either Silver, or Black carbon fiber. The entire process takes between 4 and 6 weeks to complete.
How can 9 pieces of aluminum trim cost almost $7K to cover with carbon fiber!! An entire CF hood which most likely uses more material costs less than $1K. I just don't understand
