W209 CLK CARBON FIBER MIRRORS

`















I had a set of Carbon Fiber mirrors installed today

I ordered them from

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171108571425?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The guys at gaugetuner were extremely helpful and prompt

in answering all my questions

When the mirrors were ready to ship gaugetuner sent me

an E-mail with shipping information and a tracking number

that worked

Once shipped the package took 5 days to reach Bellevue Wa.

from Taipei Taiwan - The mirrors were packaged extremely well

and there was no damage what-so-ever

The place to purchase


The install was done by Ben and Jay at Eastside Auto Salon (EAS)

in Bellevue - Outstanding work - I highly recommend


EAS also installed the CF front lip and the CF grill and also

wrapped all interior wood in a matte CF wrap

They also did the tailights and removed the emblems

on the trunk


Everyone that knows Carbon Fiber said that these are extremely

high quality - These are the 6k Carbon Fiber


Thank-You
D.B.

Those look really nice... I will consider them, if I can install them myself...

The cf lip looks good and also looks like a good install.

What size are you rear tires? I'm lowered and wouldn't be able to do that, but it looks good.

Swapping the mirrors was easy

as Ben and Jay know what they are doing

They said that the disassembly of the mirrors

is is the hard part - just take your time

They wired the puddle lights into the doors

puddle lights

You do not need to remove the door panel

completely

If you have done any work at all on your car

you should have no problems

The CF lip I purchased from Gary at

https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg...0-shipped.html


The rear tyres are 265 BFG


Thank-You

Looks really good.


The 4th picture down there appears to be a gap, do you have any closer pictures or can confirm there is a gap from the cf to the front of the mirror?


Thanks,
-Nigel

It is just the position of the camera

They are identical to the OEM mirrrors


Thank-You
