Carbon fiber or no carbon fiber

I found a guy out of brooklyn, new york who has carbon fiber door pillars for the 163 MLs...

Do you guys think those would look descent on a silver ML? It is real carbon fiber, not that painted stuff

I also talked to him about a group buy if we are interested

I don't believe it adds value to the look of the exterior. Save your money for the fogs, or w164 grille or projector headlights or updated taillights.

If you do decide to put them on a trial basis I suggest you don't use the adhesive excelerator that are included in most kits, otherwise removing them would be a disaster.

I'd like to see a picture of what it looks like. Sounds nice. I might be in on this too.

I'd like to see a picture of what it looks like. Sounds nice. I might be in on this too if the price was right and I like the look. I had carbon fiber in the interior of my base model '99 ML320 and liked it a lot.
