I love it as well, but the one I am having made by a local shop here, will keep the fogs, I LOVE THE FOGS, I keep them on while driving during the day, just really like them. I am skining my car with CF all over, right now the front fenders are molded and witha little more aggessive flares, so the bumper is next. After I get it I will post pic and if you like I could get the guy to give you quote, but he does not have the complete bumper yet until I take mine off then he can mold it and then CF the mold so fitment will be exact based on original OEM bumper. I am looking to have my car complete in CF by next spring. Not sure to paint it or leave it as the CF look. If you find one as well let me know, maybe I can change my mind but not sure if it would fit my flares, but would be curious as well. Its going to be a great winter for car mods.
Be safe

i like the fogs but i keep spending 130$ every 3 months in replacing them from rocks braking them.

As mentioned above, it's called a "foil" wrap in Europe... similar to vinyl, hard to say if it's exactly the same or not. One of the C32 guys just had his car foil wrapped in a matte black finish while stationed in Germany, turned out really nice.
CF vinyl vs. CF panels on a DTM car?

It's just the car's racing livery... not all of the w204 DTM cars are graphically identical, either. Here's another:

I promise the hood and sides aren't really partially see-through.

Why wouldn't the DTM cars be actual CF though, for weight reduction purposes... I don't see why they would "fake" that part.

Just stop replacing the fog light lenses. Same effect! They'll even act like little traps at the velocities we drive at.

I've already been through two myself and I really need to order that film. It's only like $15 shipped for the pre-cut fogs. Why I can't re-prioritize that amount of cash to something that'll effect the actual function/durability of my car vs. the all the goofy grilles and tapes and paint I just blow cash on will never make sense to me.
