Wow, what a coincident!

I planned to get cf side mirrors. But, I'll put them with power folding mirror modification.

I think Steel Gray is perfect matching color to CF parts because it's very similar color to CF. That's why I got my Steel Gray E550w4.

Also, I'm looking for CF spoiler and diffuser.

So far I found one seller from UK in eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/W204-C-GLK-W221-...item5d27b31e1a

Also, I saw posting in C-Class(W204) forum. Someone offered around $800/pair about year ago.

I think it mostly depends on the color of the car. With a lighter color, I kind of like being able to see the tinted LED blinkers contrasting it, which would be eliminated with CF covers. Also, to me, CF looks good up close, but it doesn't always translate as well (or noticeably) from afar.
