What about these CF door pillars

where can I get other brands. Those look ok, but I don't like the fact that you have only AMG or Brabus logos. I'd like either Mercedes or no logo at all... My car is not AMG and I don't want anything AMG on it.

wow... those are a great price if they're real CF! If it were me, I'd go with the Brabus logos, just because it would be more believable that Brabus would make them instead of AMG. And putting in Mercedes stars in there would look a little tacky, IMO.

Besides, the Brabus logos are black, and won't be too flashy next to the CF

[MrSpace]

it's not real CF

If I understand the description right

dont amg make these stock for the c36 and c43

I have them for my car. They are real carbon fiber as far as I could tell, but instead of being resined, they are laminated which makes them flexible. They are an adhesive overlay that you stick onto the stock b pillar cover. They look very nice, and don't stick out very far. probably less than an 1/8 of an inch".



EDIT:

Yes they do, but they look rediculously fake.

they are fakes. nice touch though.

I bought the same exact pillars for my car. Been over a year now and no problems. Still look like the day I put em on. I was worried with all the California sun that would be beating down on them day in and day out. I think they are worth it regardless.

I have them on my C43 and they are pretty nice, very 3D.

IF you do buy them be very careful on where you put them, as in where they first touch the car is where they are going to stick period. The adhesive is very strong and sticky

Hey Boomin thanks for the pic and the description, I was
thinking that they would stick out too far or just look cheap.
I think I'll order these for my C43 since the driver door one is
showing wear and they do look fake. Did you get them on
Ebay? How much did you pay? If there's more than one company selling them on Ebay, who should I look for?
Thanks again.

I bought them on eBay for $70. THey came very fast. Like Speedybenz said, make sure when you apply them, you get it right the first time! But you work in the tint industry, so I'd imagine you've got some skills.

[tinter101]

Yeah I got skills, we also put vinyl decals on at my shop.
I'm gong to order 'em right now, Thanks.

[MrSpace]

I am really not sure about those. I checked my b-pillars and the metal prt is curved with a screw on the side. putting something on top might look cheap and not OEM even tho the carbon on it might look more realistic.

I think I'll get mine painted black along eith the grey bumper stri and door handles.

Even if it sticks out 1/8" it'S too much for me. Someday I'll probably remove the part from the car and have one made in real carbon fiber (I have good contacts)

I agree now that i went and looked at my car. Plus I can't find
them on Ebay now that I wanted them. I might get 'em but I
will try to remove the ones from factory and then install thus
even less sticking out. I'm also going to price out the OEM ones.
Anyone know where else I can find these?

[martattack]

They contour the B pillar nicely. I had no fitment issues. The screws do not get covered up because they don't wrap around to the side. Only the outer part that you can see gets overlaid.

[w202mae]

I have those on my C280, very nice to cover up the dents I have on my driver side door. In reality it's a nice touch up, makes the car look nicer.

bump.

For those of you with the OEM "carbon pillars" you can use Simple Green to help remove the pattern. I found this out as I used it to clean my pillars before putting on the overlays.
