CF Feeler: Carbon Fiber W203 Door Sills

I know I have a low post count... and not much credibility on this site.... but I frequent mymbonline...

We're looking for at least 5 people who are interested in carbon fiber door sills for their w203.

A down payment will be required to make the part, and the price will be determined by the number of people interested.

Thanks

(No pictures at the moment...)

Now that's something that's never been discussed before. What is a ballpark price range? I'd have to see pictures but sounds interesting.

I should have some pictures of what it will look like tomorrow... (it won't look anywhere near the finished product).

Price for deposit should be no more than $100. Pricing is still being discussed...


Edit: As I was hastily posting on a 10" netbook.... Can a moderator please move this thread to the SEDAN W203 section? (Perhaps it will get more mainstream exposure than the AMG section...)

Just link the page to your section of the forum...well honestly you can get illuminated door sills for $199 from a well known source many of us know. I take it yours are just CF right? Now if its CF and illuminated I can see a price around $150 catching alot of attention but but even the $199 illuminated ones don't seem to have alot of people upgrading to them Nowadays people don't have alot to spend so as I see it everyone needs to make things more interesting to soften our wallets.

I'd rather have custom logo/colored illuminated door sills... *PLEASE* I really want to do this for my car, but God forbid I find a company that will do it and not try to rip me off.

CF bits

I'm not oppose to some CF bits but I need to know what the total price for the parts are and what we get for that price? before I will commit. The C32 and other W203's have four doors. Do we get all four CF sills? or only two? Post the total price in $ please.

We have the deposit prices now... Purchases will be for front sills only, rear sills only, or both.

DEPOSIT is: $100 for sills.

Pricing as follows:
Front sills: $150
Rear sills: $150
Front AND Rear sills: $225

Custom sills are case-by-case and will be more expensive...

You will get something like this, but in carbon fiber.

They're per pair. i.e. Front left and right OR Rear left and right

Not sure about coupes... If they have the same design/layout as the sedan, then yes.

Fairly easy. Pop off, pop on. (Clips are fragile, but should be no problem)

Uhh. not too sure. I believe there will be "mercedes-benz" written on it... and maybe the option to have illuminated sills..

Ok,
The deposit will be $100. The rest will be due when your sills are complete, but before we ship them out.

Pricing as follows:
Front sills: $150
Rear sills: $150
Front AND Rear sills: $225
Custom sills are case-by-case and will be more expensive... However, there will be an option to have "Mercedes-Benz" or "AMG" on the sills (still being discussed).

Again, we need at least 5 people willing to put down this deposit. If you are serious, put your name down on the "list" below and send me a PM so I can send you the paypal address.
