Carbon Fiber W208
Would anyone be interested in the following:
OE Style Carbon fiber Air Box
Carbon FIber Mirrors OE Style and these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-LED...item3f07c752aa
or anything else in carbon fiber?
I have a buddy who owns a composite company and I am thinking about having some of the above made if enough interest is generated, its expensive to get a mould made but if I generate enough interest for one or more of the above I will have it done and sell some for a good price (nothing like renntech) more of an affordable economical price as our cars are 10 years old!
It would most likely be 2x2 weave vacuum Infused Wet look
Please make any other suggestions

How about a bigger (taller/thicker) air box for the M113 engine?

what about interior trims?
carbon fiber/kevlar air intake tubes?
w208s don't have the hood heat dissipating grills like the w209s...possibly ideas with that?

I'm using the 2005+ air box on my W208. I did a few threads on it. I can tell the difference, and my engine temp went down. I would buy a carbon fiber one that was taller but looked the same. I like the look of the V.2 Air Box. I wonder how much hp/trq I picked up...

Any chance on a front diffuser/spoiler lip for the w208?

Somebody needs to make a knock off of the Rennetech box the price for that thing is crazy. I think all that is needed is the larger top.
