Hey guys. My hood got severly damaged and I wanna get a new one, issue is they cost 1900+ usd. Do you guys think the ones made in taiwan ex : https://www.betaautoparts.com/produc...um-2038800357/ would be fine or should I get the hood from MB.

Dang $1900 and that's not including paint matching! For that price I would get an aftermarket carbon like Boca. As for the hood from the site you linked I would ask for pics of the underside to see how reinforced it is.

This is this carbon hood I'm looking on getting

Be careful, i just got screwed over on a carbon hood even after confirming 10 times it was for c63 and not c43/300 and they still sent the wrong one. Darwin is also out of stock on OE style state side so your option is china (where all CF companies make their stuff), MB or Darwin glass hood which is 2k.If its from overseas youre looking at 45-60days just as a heads up.

That hood is for the C63 "look" meaning it's likely for a base model C class trying to imitate the C63.... Won't work on your car.

you are right I just talked to the guys selling it they told me it won't fit on my c63. I found an OEM new for 750 usd should I get it?
