Well I'm joking... my friend let me borrow his covers, and they look awesome!

Like I said, if I decide to buy these covers I will delete the ///AMG badges and the signed engine plate, and I was thinking of painting the gray part of the cover gloss black.

The only thing is, the covers are not cheap. The front CF part is about $1600 and the back metal cover is $1300...
