The airbox is one quality piece! Noticed some sound difference and a bit of performance. At the price offered it was worth the money. The quality is top notch!

U all know how CF freak I am , but am I the only one to think that the AMG silver cover looks better.. I dunno, I feel the CF box looses AMG trademark.

Don't take me wrong, the carbonio box looks spectacular & i heard they perform great.. But I love the stock engine look the most.

Must resist temptation and not buy the airbox - that's what I say to myself when I see the Carbonio thread with special pricing

That front with the CF front lip, CF mirrors and CF grille looks great

I mean it looks good...but I swear it almost melts after you drive hard...Next time you drive hard...put you're hand on the plastic...it's kinda soft it's obviously just regular plastic...that was my reasoning to change it...get rid of the cheap plastic

Really? That's news to me.

I heard some ppl with CF covers yellowing, but didn't know our stock covers are not holding up well to the engine heat.

they hold up but like anything especially plastic..under heat it does lose a little strength...I only noticed this because I took the cover off after driving it hard and it almost like slipped off...then again when the engine was bone cold and it snapped off..easiest way i can explain it

Man who wants to remove the cover after a spirited drive? lol
This car generates so much heat that i usually don't touch after driving it. I wait for it to cool down before i do any work on the car
