Hi,
I am just wondering is it possible to order an OEM carbon fiber side view mirrors and diffuser through the dealer in the US? Because I know that carbon fiber packages are only EU vin compatibility. Has anyone ever done this yet?

Thanks!

I'd be all over this if it was,...dealer told me NO......but they have to be available someplace

Not too sure if you can order from dealer (not from the US).

But CF mirror is available on this link

otherotherbenz

no luck bro, the only thing i can find is the one from CKS, but i havent pull the trigger yet

thanks so much!!!

bro, i want to ask about the carbon fiber diffuser since I know you have one on your car. Are the fins on the diffusser longer than the plastic ones? or is it exactly the same, but only in carbon.

hyperion667

that's cool, a member said they had a good experience with them so I might try out the CF mirror covers and bulbs..........or should I get the whole mirror??

any input?
thanx bro,

ripgut

very nice of you Ali!

Ali_E55

they are the same but look a bit bigger because of glossy reflection.

it also has a fog light in the middle

Did you get the prices from EMC ?
If can check with them and pm me the prices for the side mirrors and diffuser please

I figure that's their response. Last Nov I asked a local MB dealer about possibly ordering an oem LSD and install it in place of the regular diff. They also said no. But of course that local dealer is quite shady from what I have found out.

Ali, is the diffuser you can get us is the OEM? I don't understand why we can't order from other country like europe or uae mb dealer and ship it to us

Be aware of stolen side view mirrors. I just read the thread about stolen rims from Houston area on the C63 side and someone mentioned stolen side view mirrors.

hyperion667

yeah very good point otakki......I read that too....
what the hell is wrong with people???????

otakki

And in one of the last few posts, someone mentioned the CF deck spoiler got stolen. Heck, after all this stuff I have heard, I would never get any CF exterior parts.

What do you guys think about these?

those are slip on covers right, where as i guess the OE ones are the actual mirror housing itself is CF?

hyperion667

I wouldn't put something that cheap on my car.....

Way too ricey and cheap for these cars. Before we broke down and had a JDM company make turn signal housings for our GS's a couple guys ran similar covers to these. It through the lines off of the car, whistled on the freeway, and just was not good news. I believe they all ended up removing them before long.

otakki

Not bad looking in the pix but not sure how they will look in person. I have a feeling they will rattle and shake and might even get blown off at high speed. In addition, I sure don't want someone mistaken it and rip my entire mirror housing off while trying to steal them...

Just to add to this thread. Here is a few pictures of the $89.00 CF covers from Ebay. They actually don't look bad and fit pretty nicely. They are held with double sided tape. This was done solely to provide greater information for this forum. I am not that cheap and plan to order the real things.

Those look good! Hopefully you don't get those stolen now they look like real CF ones.
