Has anyone done this? Any photos ?

More important would be the next question.... "and how did you live with yourself after"

Haha. I hadn't order it. I was thinking of having it wrapped with real carbon fiber but it would have to be removed and reinstalled.

Are there replacements available through MB parts?

LMAO! $1600 is pricey for this option but I don't mind it on mine as it integrates with the interior matte CF trim.

That's a ridiculous price upgrade for a carbon fiber wrapped rid which provides no structural support to the car

Why do you say that, because I can't believe AMG added it for decoration?

I've seen at an exploded diagram (maybe from Alex??) and removal/replacement isn't trivial.

It is an expensive CF option, which at the time, I decided that since it was behind by head, didn't add any great visual appeal, unlike the CF dash trim.

In hind sight, I would have added it, along with door sills and the exterior pack.

Love looking at the matte CF crossbar through the rear glass and whenever I pop the rear trunk. Integrates nicely with the matte CF center console and vents which can be appreciated in a single view along with the crossbar.

It is not structural. It was inserted to separate passenger and luggage. It prevents cargo from coming in the front while driving.

I was told by AMG rep

Must have ALL THE CARBON FIBERS!

Same here. That's what I was told. It's not structural; just there to keep bags and stuff from sliding forward into the front.

....and not difficult to remove either. Might not be preferred but I suspect a quality CF wrap job on this, the console and vents would be hard to differentiate from 'real' for most.

I like the Silver carbon fiber look and I use the SCF vinyl to protect the tops of the crossbar and plastic as I lay golf clubs
in the car often works great is easily removed and replaced if it gets scratched....

I did get the Gloss Carbon Fiber Package so the Center V console is Chrome silver and I left the Crossbar as Chrome silver . I thought if I did Gloss CArbon for the crossbar it would get too dark.

I got high end Burmrster so I figured all the silver accents would match against the Black Exclusive Nappa leather. Silver of the speakers, Console, seat inserts, Crossbar , door handles and foot pedals. Now, since I’m waiting, I over think it.
