1999 C43
Carbon Fiber

I had assumed that the carbon fiber door pilar was genuine carbon fibor.
Recently there were comments about fake carbon fiber. I had read where
European models had cosmetic carbon fiber overlay on interior panels. Is this for real or fake ?

The exterior pillar is not real carbon fiber. Mine have been "polished" to the point of being almost straight black. I think it looks better completely black.
