Does anyone know if someone makes a carbon fiber insert that goes inside the side skirts beneath the doors? I thought I saw this somewhere on the MB board but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

I've been looking as well.

I did find these interesting pieces. I just emailed them for a price.

Someone makes a full replacement front CF piece that replaces the factory parts those stock onto. Its also more aggressive than stock. I've seen a picture but don't know where to get it.

iownedu

Found it, ridiculous price though.

Looks great, but that price though is laughable. Perhaps one of the many vendors on here could reproduce it.

iownedu

Exactly, we just need to buy one and send it to China for reproduction. Probably cost $350 bucks.

I really want the new flicks that the new c coups have. Fit on those slits at the bottom of the rear bumper

iownedu

Somebody really needs to make these pieces for the facelift side skirts in carbon....

YellowJacket

Have you thought about having them wrapped? Thats probably what i will do. In black though. I don't think carbon wrap looks real enough, unless things have improved.

Mine are already black, Nightstyle Package.

Doesn't MB make the side skirts OEM in carbon fibre?

my e63 has them as it has the CF pkg rather than night style.

I bought the gloss black (night style) inserts from the dealer, $300 each. I'm going to have them hydro dipped with the carbon fiber look and my body shop will install them. There are tabs on the back of the inserts so it will be interesting to see how they get installed. You can order them in carbon fiber from the dealer but they are very expensive. I had my rear diffuser hydro dipped and clear coated with incredible results.

That's an interesting thought. Does it look like a real carbon weave or just like checkers?

If it looks identical to real carbon I'd consider doing my diffuser, side inserts and the black portions of the front bumper (I have Nightstyle Package), and maybe even the grille.

On the lower areas of the car it is very difficult to tell the difference between the carbon fiber and the carbon print. Carbon fiber has that 3 dimensional look, the print does not. I'm very particular with my car and I think it looks great. Here are a few pics of the interior I had dipped.

Im sorry don't mean to go off topic but you have a non s e63 correct ? Or did you change out the tips , I like that style tip myself rather than the one on the S MODEL,
Are the tips easy to swap or do you have to drop the exhaust? Thanks

Wickdwagon

That appears to be awesome alternative. A couple of question. How does this hold up over the long haul? And over time would it be possible to return those parts to stock?

There are excellent vinyls avaiable now that you could wrap the center in. look up 5d Carbon fiber wrap. I've done alot of little pieces with it and looks great

I have a non s E63. No need to drop the exhaust to remove the tips. I have a set for sale if your interested.

I had my body shop clear coat the pieces that were hydro dipped, so it is well protected. Had it on for a year with no problems. You probably can't return to stock.
I do agree the 5d/6d carbon fiber wrap looks pretty nice

Saw some parts hydro dipped but the "wave" looks like one dimension checkers, plus I would always know it is fake.


With very few exceptions is like saying that an AMG is exclusive or unique.

I actually have a set of the chrome tips, I did try to install them,but gave up quickly I removed the two bolts and that allows you to slide the tip back but it slides back into the the muffler ends, is there something I'm missing ? Do you know the proper way to remove them please let me know I will try again , Thanks

NewShockerGuy

Older thread but did you get the gloss black inserts for the side skirts or are you talking about your pictures for the front and rear?
I'm trying to source the black night pack pieces but can't find part numbers anywhere.

Thanks much,

Hello,
I have the stock carbon fiber for sale if your interested? I bought them to exchange the hydro dipped ones on the car but my bodyshop said it would be to hard to take the existing ones off.

cotmfk

This is correct. I also have the CF package. Frustrated that the original owner/dealer did not spec the carbon fiber option on the interior though.
