CF overlay looks okay.
CF weave is uneven on the left side of the front engine cover. Looks like they stretched it too much. And they could have wet sanded the resin in between clear coats with a flat wedge because it's not perfectly smooth. In comparison, the overlay on the airbox looks more even, just needs to be polished and waxed. The reflections off the front engine cover remind me of those mirrors at the carnival that distort people's faces.
There is a technique to wet lay up; the CF work done by Kleeman and AMG all have perfect weave uniformity. Who did the overlay job on the front engine cover?

Yeah I know the CF lay on the front cover isn't prefect, but I still think it looks good. Neal had his CF guy layer CF over the stock sliver cover. Neal said the reason it didn't come out perfect was because how the piece dipped and curved. He did say though that if he did a mold of the cover the CF would come out perfect however the cost would be too high just to make a one of.Originally Posted by pshek

If members here are interested in getting such a piece in CF I'm sure Neal could make a mold and it would be perfect and affordable since he would be producing them in quantity.
Do you know someone that could do a better job in your opinion for a reasonable price in producing a one of?
Looks nice! I am in if the price is right for the C32 engine cover. Sweet!

does the renntech airbox include larger openings also? What does it subsist of? anyone have pics of it by itself?
I can't believe no one has notice the renntech HEADERS PIMP!!!
If he has the headers and airbox undoubtedly he has the ecu so what 50 hp more???

I'd have to agree with Neal about the overlay. It's not easy to lay CF evenly on a surface that has a lot of curves. Overlays are all one-off jobs and are not cheap. Like you and Neal said, only way to make it more affordable would be to make a mold and produce in quantity. I prefer 1x1 weave CF for small parts, and 2x2 for large parts like hoods and diffusers. Looks better IMO.Originally Posted by RawAMGpower

The box is larger then stock and therefore can hold more air volume, so it produces more power. The box though comes with stock AMG filters in it. I replaced them with BMC.

Yeah I got all that, plus a free flowing mid section exhaust and the Quaife LSD. I want to keep the car NA, so I might consider having renntech do heads and cams for the car. Wheels, brakes and suspension are next on this.Originally Posted by spr

Here is a pic of the headers before they went in.

Thanks for the pics. I am told the headers are a real mod power wise. It really stinks how expensive they are though. Did you put them on yourself?
No I wouldn't know where to being. A shop did all the work for me.
Well, most places that offer Renntech don't discount or do so very little. If your intrested in some of there stuff you could check their website for dealers in your area or give Neal at Eurotech a call.
