Carbon Fiber Kit
I am looking for a carbon fiber interior kit for my '98 C43. I have the two tone black/silver leather with the dark wood trim kit. I think the wood trim totally clashes with the color of the leather and think a cabon fiber kit would look absolutely trick. If you guys know of anyone who sells one, please let me know. Thanks!

Our car came with it, since we bought used. However, it may look like CF, but don't let it fool you!
It's just plastic! It's the same trim out of the C280 sport... So I'm sure your Mercedes dealer could do it for you for a few pretty pennies. I don't know the exact cost. I would like to switch it out for Silver CF especially, or at least black CF, but I can not find real CF to fit it. So in the interim, I just stick with the plastic. It's fine, and looks cool, but I'd rather have it real. I mean, the weight savings with the real CF... The plastic is just SO heavy! Get real!

Thanks for the reply. I was going to go that route, but my brother just got a real CF kit in his '03 BMW M3 and it looks so nice. You just can't duplicate it, and when the sunlight hits it and you can see all the fibers.. that just does it for ya! I know they have a kit out there. It's just a ***** to find one!
