W211 E Class / E55 CF Hood
I'm assuming all E Class W211 uses the same hood.
Over at C32 AMG / C55 AMG (W203) Forums and CLK AMG (W208/W209) Forums They have a Group Buy For C55/CLK CF Hood at a very attractive price. I wonder if we on here can do the same. Would be a very nice diet to loose some of that weight in the front end. They are looking into about 15-20 confirmed orders. BlackC230Coupe is the person setting this up. I can see why they chose to do it for the C55 since he owns one
Hopefully if we get enough ppl, he can do ours too.
M5KILLR: What do you think? since you have mass expertise in this type of modding field.
What do all you guys think?
ps. maybe we can have a custom vented CF Hood?

VERY BIG UPDATE!
Well everyone, Great news! This is finally confirmed and we are ready to start building the carbon fiber hoods with vents that everyone has been patiently waiting for. We are now accepting the deposits. Once we get all deposits we will start the hood process. It will take about approx. 8-12 weeks to make. This is a first come first serve basis. We are making hood for other cars and the CF guys are real busy. So the first 6-8 hoods will me made first. Then the rest will be made after that. So if you would like to get this sooner then some of the other people. I will let the first batch go the people that I receive the orders from first. The price of the hood for the W211 E-Class / E55 is $830 for black carbon fiber with vents. Silver carbon fiber with vents is an additional $99. A $580 non refundable deposit is required from everyone to start the building process. Once the hoods are made you will be charged the remainder of the cost of the hood you choose. A flat rate shipping cost of $129 will also be charged at that time. That shipping cost only applies to any of the US lower 48 states. We can ship these internationally. Shipping will of course go up.
To leave your deposit please click the link below and select the hood to checkout. Please also include your MBworld user ID in the special comments box.

Thanks! Hopefully within a few days all deposits will be received so we can get these going already. Also, in a few weeks one will be made and i will try to take pictures to show you the fit and finish.
