Information about C43 Coupe Carbon fiber side skirt inserts?

All, I'm trying to gather information about the carbon fiber side skirt inserts for the C43 Coupe. I'd like to add these to my car. A few questions:

1. The side skirts inserts for the c63 appear to have tabs which fit into holes in the side skirts, but I believe the ones for the c43 do not-is this correct? If so, i'm assuming they attach with double sided tape?
2. Are the length and shape of these the same on the sedan as the coupe or are they specific to body type?
3. Has anyone actually added these to the vehicle after delivery?

Thank you!

Here is the part number for the gloss black skirt inserts for the c300/c43 coupe. This doesn't show attachment method however.

Those pieces are from the AMG add-on pack. They are more aggressive and protrude more than the c63 parts. The ones available on eBay are actually like a shell that overlays the side skirts. They go on with tape or epoxy.

Thanks, i didn't know there were different versions. For the version which is more aggressive, does it fit the c43 amg coupe if they weren't ordered from the factory?

Those look great !

I've got the factory spoiler & mirrors in CF, this would look nice (my car is white, the contrast would be great)

why not just get them wrapped in vinyl?

thinking of getting mine done, was quoted about $150-200 for a gloss black 3m 1080 vinyl.

It's easy enough to wrap those pieces. I wrap them all the time. I am on my phone right now, so I don't have any pictures, but once I get to my computer, I'll see if I can dig some up and post them up for you.

Mine are wrapped in satin aluminum to match the front and rear splitters but they can be wrapped any color I suppose
