wow frisco, those interior pieces are to die for, where did you get them? And is that the natural finish with a clear coat or is it the grey finish?

BlackC230Coupe

the way it looks is the brabus vents should be no problem. i will just let you guys know more in a day or so with final prices.

Frisco

to no gray availability - it looks like it would match the color of the paint very well and not need to be painted. I'd rather pay extra to you to get gray than to pay less and have it repainted - if it's at all possible, please let me know.

Thanks about my interior - the CF was done custom through one of the other site sponsors.

BlackC230Coupe

Sorry i can't help there. I definitely checked, and they will only do black or silver CF. All carbon fiber is really black, silver is bleached black CF and other colors are just dyed. Even if you can do that color hood, from a distance it will look similar to black. Wont match pewter that perfect when its right next to it, especially a very large piece like a hood with the sun glaring on it. I would go with back and maybe some custom paint job with pewter.

(serious question) for those wanting vents.... what happens if it rains?

BrabusClK04

Tape it up.... . But really, thats what I would do. Besides, I hardly drive the car in the first place.

Neal, we got five or so here at the w209 forum. I assume most all of us wants the CF vents. Let us know or keep us updated when the production will start. I just hope it wont take like months and months.

z1co

Anyone interested in doing the CF lip? Maybe if there is enough interest we can do a group buy too since there is one with the hood.

Neal, approximately how long will the production time take? Keep us updated. I'm interested for the hoods with vents but i still have to consider the price and production time though. Keep us updated!

make that 6 , i'm in.

you mean like a front spoiler lip....would love one for the 320 to make it look a bit aggressive

This seems to be a common questions

Here is what i posted in another thread.

"It should not be an issue. The vents are behind the intakes. So even in a very heavy rain no water will get close. Even if the car is parked no water can just sit in the intake. People dont realize, but alot of rain gets threw the front grill to the intakes in a heavy rain when you are on the highway. The grill is not to restrictive at all."

There are many cars that come stock with hood vents, besides ferraris, a car i can think of of the top of my head is the jaguar XKR. It has similar vents on the middle of the hood.

Well, production starts when we et 15+ orders. We have 6 here, and i think we will have like 6 in the C55 forum. We should be there in a day or so.




z1co - production time takes about 6 weeks.

I want the front spoiler lip for the brabus bumper like the picture that Frisco posted. Nobody else with brabus bumper is interested?

Frisco

I'm sort of surprised that Jay500, TMans, and AMGBred haven't shown interest. Perhaps Jay500 and AMGBred just aren't around and haven't seen the threads - it looks like TMans is around the site. I have Jay's email and can contact him to ask, and perhaps someone that knows AMGBred would volunteer to email him?

z1co - I am trying to get a new bodykit, but if it doesn't work out and I keep the Brabus, I'd be interested in one also. If we can't work it out here, I think Tmans and BrabusCLK04 already have had them custom fabricated by shops in SoCal, and we could potentially just get them through their source.

TMans

Actually I am very interested, but I have not said anything yet because I can't commit to the order right now. Waiting to clear up some other stuff. I will let you guys know soon though, but it would help if I could get the final amount.

Btw - is the hood going to be real CF or just overlay?

z1co - did you get a price on how much your guy can do it for? I might need another one. Already cracked my lip.

z1co

I was planning to do the lip on a shop here in the bay area but they were not professional at all. So I decide not to do the lip with them. That is why I decide to ask whether anyone on this board is interested in getting the lip done as well since there is another groupbuy going on. I emailed the place where u did ur lip but they didn't reply me. If u decide to do the lip again, let me know man! I want to do it too. Who knows we can get a cheaper price if we do 2 lips instead of just 1

MR CLK 55 AMG

Hey Z1co, what's that place that you were planning on purchasing your front spoiler lip called? And where in the Bay Area?

BlackC230Coupe

The hood is a filberglass shell. I was told weight will be anywhere from 11-14lbs.


Btw, guys, sorry for the delay, my guy is just playing around with a few designs and molds and should have the price for us on tuesday. In the meantime, we will still have time for anyone to respond if they are interested.

z1co

Is this GB still on?

BlackC230Coupe

Yes it is, everyone is waiting for me to get the final price then we are good to go. I was supposed to do it today but i left early for a game of golf. :p

Tomorrow hopefully he will have the final price ready.

z1co

Ok. I'm in. Let me know Neal

BrabusClK04

Neal lets get this deal going....

BlackC230Coupe

I just posted in the other threads that i should hopefully get this going by the end of the week and start taking deposits then so we can finally get this hood made already. My guy is just playing around with the vents so it will all be perfect and everyone will be happy.
