Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for C43, E55 (W210), and CLK55(W208)
 
Hi Fellow C43 and E55 (W210) Owners,

I'm having Carbon Fiber engine bay cover made for C43, E55 (W210), CLK55 (W208). I think it should work for all 3 models. The only difference that I can see is the E55 has a different coolant reservoir location. It'll go over the airbox and the cover that has the AMG/Mercedes logo. There will also be covers for the windshield cleaner reservoir, coolant reservoir, and ECU box. The main engine cover will have a cut out for the AMG/Mercedes logo. The mercedes star on the engine cover for one of my cars peeled off. I know that it's a common problem for the AMG engine cover. So, I can also have logos made of carbon fiber logo (by authorized/licensed logo maker). I can also have a cover made that goes over the fuse box area, but it'll cost more money.

The initial molds (5 total) will cost me a lot, but it'll be worth it because it'll make the engine bay look so awesome. Each mold can do at least 500 pulls. So if any of you are interested, PM me and I'll give you the cost for a whole set. If I can get enough people interested on purchasing a set, it will definitely reduce the cost for each set. The engine cover will not compromise maintainability of the airbox and it will actually help with uniform distribution of heat within the engine bay. The carbon fiber manufacturer is from L.A. and very reputable. Their products are first class not no cheapos from Asia. They've made products for major tuners in U.S.

Let me know if any of you are interested.

Thanks.

I'd be interested in a set. Whats the price?

So far, it will be at least $1,200/set. Just the cover for the airbox and front of the engine will be $600. The covers for the coolant reservoir, windshield wiper fluid reservoir, and ECU box are $200 a piece. It's actually not so bad considering that the carbon fiber engine covers for most high end cars go for much higher.

I'll post pictures as soon as the kit is complete. Should be around June timeframe.

I've been sending the price via PM because it looks like somebody else is also attempting to make the engine cover. I'm not sure.

I know for a fact that the quality of my kit will be exponentially better. The price is very reasonable and it will also include additional pieces for the engine bay.

The first 10 orders will receive the introductory price.
