Actually the c43 can be ordered factory with carbon fiber interior and they also have an exterior pkg. Its very overpriced and all can be had aftermarket for cheaper. I add the CW Carbon fiber mirror covers and will eventually do a carbon fiber spoiler.

Update: Carbon fiber wrapped the lower diffuser. It was a huge PIA to remove the lower side pieces. I cant believe how difficult MB designed these things. Also was difficult to get the front splash shield back in once removed.

That looks sweet, man. You do quality work!
All of your wraps seriously do look cool but I'd be careful about going overboard with it all. I mean, it's one thing to have an entire car made of CF like a Pagani, Mclaren, Koeineggsegegeggegegegegegeegggggegeeg, etc since they're actual CF (actually that's like the coolest thing), but I feel like you can only wrap so many things in fake CF before it starts to look tacky and you end up on a passerbyer's respective forum with a thread title of "Beautiful Benz ruined by CF wrap explosion".
Just a friendly opinion. It's your car so 'mod it like you bought it' :

Correct! The A pillars I carbon fiber skinned with real carbon fiber. The front emblem and front Lip I used a carbon Fiber Vinyl from Amazon. 5D style. For something like a lip which is garanteed to get scratched up I think vinyl is fine.

Finishing up a few more pieces I carbon fiber laminated. Here is the oil cap and fluid cap, I previously had wrapped in vinyl. The vinyl didn't look bad, but it Looks so much better in real carbon fiber.

Continuing with cleaning up the engine bay...I always liked the look of cars that had carbon fiber cowls so I decided to make one. Here's the left side done. The right side is stock. I'm still deciding if I want to do the lower part in carbon fiber and if I should change the gloss to a matte (think dry carbon) which I can do with proper sanding. Thoughts?

There is a post lurking around here on front diffuser removal if you search. Its a real PIA but unless you're using knifless tape, I would not recommend wrapping it on the car-too much chance for cuts onto the paint. You have to remove the lower heat shield first under the front end of car. There are a few screws which need to be removed. Next the three sections clip into the bumper with clips around the front. You need to pull from outside and push from inside. I used a bunch of trim removal tools and screw drivers. It takes a lot of effort. The middle piece clips are stuck under the grille, which needs to be lifted while pulling clips under the grille.
