W208 Carbon Fiber Hood???
Anyone know where I can get a carbon fiber hood that actually fits properly? I dont want that huge gap behind the grill that you get with the generic c/f hood (like I have on my CLK430). I want something that fits RIGHT to put on my CLK55.

I know its the same one you have. I have to look at yours again. Even with the stock AMG bumper on my CLK430, the gap is still apparent

Hmm the closet I can think of is the VIS hoodie Ahmed, that doesn't fit? Well if that doesn't work then I think ebay has other branded CF hoods for our CLK but then again I dunno I'm not at that baller level yet like you pimps.

I have also heard the VIS hoods fit well. I found this on Ebay, but have not had a chance to follow up to see if these are available for the W208, I wouldn't mind picking up one, but don't want to be the one to try it first
