Talking NEW SPONSOR - CK CARBON IMPORTS - Specializing in CF Performance Parts

I would like to officially introduce CK Carbon Imports to the W211 AMG and AMG community as a whole at MBWorld. My personal user account is "mikey33," and for the past year have been working tirelessly prototyping and perfecting carbon fiber performance parts for the W211 AMG and 55K motor.

We currently have two parts completed and a third in progress. These are our custom carbon fiber "Beast" tubes and engine cover. We will have a performance air box added to the line-up soon! Below is our website and facebook page for everyone to check out. We have our parts on many members cars here already at MBWorld and pictures of custom setup's.

We look forward to everyone's support and delivering the highest quality parts at the most competitive pricing, thanks Chris Ketter.

Hi Zod, all our parts are custom prototyped by us in house and while they might look similar, they are different and smoother aesthetically speaking.

Congrats Chris.. Just put the Beast tubes on the other day and fitment and quality is great. Regarding whether they are similar to Carbonio or not, CK's pricing cant be beat. I remember a GB we tried to set up on intake tubes with Carbonio, which never happened and would have been almost double the price anyways..

Do people not like competition around here? They would rather just have one person offer each product at a very high price?

Yes you are 100% correct! No yellowing or fading at all with our carbon fiber parts They do get dusty but a simple wipe and they look like new.
