I always say YES to Carbon Fiber.
The parts look like they are good quality (weave pattern/finish).

Carbon pack is always nice.. but it depends on what type of parts you are looking for. Most folks here mix and match their CF parts.. just my 2 cents worth

I cheched out their products on the website and I have one question - are these real CF parts or hydrograpic-dipped OEM parts?
From the pics, it doesn't look like real CF

^ In other words get Matt's CF parts for a good price
But yeah looking at the pics they don't really look like real CF.
So i would say CF pack YES but maybe not this one. Search the forum for sponsors and compare their product/quality/fitment with this one is my suggest.

Buy Matt's CF....I highly recommend it...great quality and matches OEM..the CF on that site looks to be quite cheap price wise and well you know what they say...you get what you pay for...Matt isn't insanely expensive either...great price..great customer service

I woudln't get this. If you read the desription, it's definitely not real carbon fiber.

This Carbon fibre effect pack has been developed from the AMG Black Series for people who want unique styling at a fraction of the price of real carbon fibre.

WOW! That would have really sucked. Should have known the price was too good to be true for Real CF.

My thoughts on this are.... why not? As long as the pieces are quality pieces does it REALLY matter if its real carbon fiber or not? If they can stand the test of time and are a little heavier than actual carbon fiber pieces do we all really care? Can't beat that price honestly for a grill, mirrors, diffuser and spoiler.

Saph, once you see hydrographic carbon fibre and real carbon fibre, you will know what the problem is.
Hydro-CF looks cheap, has no light refelction, and no depth.

The CF pattern on these parts looks horrible. I would pay a bit more & get each parts separately.

It's not fake in the sense that they use different kinds of fibers in the resin. It's fake in the sense that it's essentially just a graphic of a carbon fiber weave on top of plastic. It looks really cheap in person and it's immediately obvious that it's just a picture of a carbon fiber weave on plastic parts.

10 C six trizzle
it even says they are oem pieces printed on. You can trade yours in and get money back lol. Please dont do this. You'd be better off with 3m di-noc vinyl. This is the sort of crap for c250/300/350s that put amg badges on there cars.

More CF the better imo! The various designs of each CF piece like diffuser, spoiler, front lip etc are SOO varied and unique. That's why I found individual pieces from different vendors to find the right combo for me.

Good luck!
