New CF glovebox trim installed!
I installed this piece from formymercedes.com...a CF glovebox trim piece. It's a very low profile CF-covered alloy piece so it doesn't look tacked on at all and a one minute install. IMO it really helps complete the overall CF look. A big improvement...I love it!

I had to remove it because of the poor quality. It looked great
out of the box and for about 3 weeks installed and then the
carbon fiber began cracking at variuos points.
This is not a knock on Jerry from formymercedes.com because
he is tremendous to deal with but I never informed him of the
issue I had with this piece. I should have.

stated, no stress. After about 3 weeks, I started noticing little
tiny vertical slits about a 1/4" long at the top and bottom every
few inches apart that ran the length of the trim piece.
I should have taken pictures of the problem and I should have
contacted Jerry but I didn't.
Hopefully, your piece is problem free because it is very nice
looking and added a nice touch to the glove box.
I do have the carbon fiber knob from Jerry too and it is a
fantastic piece.
