Night package with carbon fiber package not available?

I'm being told that you can only get either the night package or the carbon fiber package. It seems odd because there's plenty of videos being shown online with both... And I was also able to add both in the configurator: https://www.mbusa.com/en/share/build/A497ZR

Anybody know the real details are here?

The carbon fiber package results in a brush guard and spare tire surround that is from the night package. Gloss back for gloss and magno black for magno. You only need to select that one and not night.

So if you select the carbon package and not the night you don't get the blacked out front and back bumpers or the blacked out badges / running boards... Was hoping to get all of those things and the carbon fiber.

I do not believe you get anything darkened more than the regular night package, so no black bumpers, emblems, fenders, or running boards.

There’s been some pictures posted of carbon fiber package vehicles already delivered so you can see exactly what it looks like.

The carbon package has normal paint color for the bumpers, chrome running boards, and chrome badges. The night package blacks all of those things out. My preference would be to have everything blacked out and the carbon but that doesn't appear to be an option - I'm being told you have to choose between the two... Which is a bummer!

The night package does not black any of that out.

The night package plus does.

Sorry that's what I meant - but you can't select night package or night package plus with carbon fiber package.

Unfortunately, you can't get the carbon fiber exterior package with the Night Package plus.

That's why for my build, I ended up ditching the carbon fiber exterior package for the night package and the night package plus magno. My entire car is matted out from top to bottom.

That's a bummer!! It definitely feels like the right call to go with the night package plus magno over the carbon fiber package... Just wish they'd offer both I'd happily pay for it!

Having the night package, can anyone link where to get OE front and rear tire cover Matt Black Mercedes Emblem's? there seems to be many "OE" emblems online with 3M tape, looks a bit cheap, i would rather get the full OE emblem in Matt black ( i got the other emblems V8,G550 emblems ) thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a 2025 with the carbon fiber package that can send photos? Want to see if the turn signals and headlights come in standard clear or smoked. I've seen mixed information! In Europe the carbon fiber package comes with the night package plus so a lot of the info online and on YouTube is from the test drive models Mercedes put out in Europe, but a lot of that doesn't translate to the US models... Put down my deposit on an order a few days ago with a build date in March, so have a little bit of time to make a final decision on night package plus vs carbon fiber package - this is a key driver for me!

When I orderd my car last month they said the Carbon Fiber Package was currently not available. Has this status since changed? Im guessing it was gone for a while.

I put down a deposit last week and they didn't tell me carbon fiber wasn't available but the build date isn't until March 18. Not sure if that means it was accepted or if there's a different acceptance stage closer to the build date? Any idea what the case may be here?

I also saw a few at the dealer with carbon fiber package so it couldn't have been unavailable for too long.

They told me it wasnt available when they entered my offical build sheet. My build date is also in March. I submitted my specs a month ago, so now im wondering if its available again. I think we have up to 14 days before the build date to make changes. Ill have to inquire again and will let you all know what they say if I go this route.

It is my understanding that the carbon fiber package does not include the running board and the exhaust tip in black.

Let me know what you find out! And if they end up removing it I’ll let you know. But here’s my build sheet - I cropped out the top info but it has a PO # and feels pretty official 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love this forum. Thanks to you, I was able to go back and change my allocation specs and add the Carbon Fiber Package. Looks likes its available again.

Amazing! Good to hear!

Seeing you did the full leather package - what does that entail? Rolls Royce sells the shooting star ceiling for $12k, hard to understand how MB is getting away with a quilted ceiling for $16k?

Ya I kinda went a little a little overboard with the build. The 16k leather package coats the entire interior including all roof areas and pillars in leather plus the diamiond quilted roof. Its def insane but I really want the car to have a luxurious feel to it. I also went with standard jet black over the obsidian black paint, since the jet black is more of a limo black look and I always felt obsidian black looks like black paint thats been heavily hazed. Ill be adding blackout floor boards and painting the chrome exhaust tips myself.

PO is definitely legit. Let's just hope your dealer doesn't pull a fast one on you when the car shows up with surprise ADM or extra things to buy, lol.

I hate those types of dealers...
