My S550 is white. And I want to know how good the fitment is on these. Has anyone installed a set?

Are they just covers that go over the existing molding or do you have to remove the rocker panel and unclip the existing molding and replace with the carbon ones? Would love to see pictures when you get them installed. Also where did you purchase them from?

They are replacement moldings with clips. I got them from buytuning.com they are produced in Poland. I'll post pictures once the body shop installs them.

The fitment and weave look excellent. How hard were they to install?

Looks great, thanks for the links. I have the same color and wheels as you the carbon fiber looks great. Do you have the AMG package? Seems like you do with those rims.

Sure thing. I'm not sure what came with the AMG package. But the rims are AMG. I bought it used earlier this year. Absolutely love this vehicle.
