QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I have a 2018 Black C43amg coupe. Do you make this specifically for this year car that is a direct fit? Do you have any pictures of a black c43 with this hood? I am wondering if I want to buy the carbon fiber or stick with black. Or does this need to be painted? Thank you

    Hi Brian. When you purchase the hood, just mention the year, model, and body style you have in the notes section of the check out page. We will make sure to send you the correct version. The hood can be finished in gloss carbon fiber, matte carbon fiber, gloss forged carbon fiber, matte gloss carbon fiber, or primed. We do not sell them painted in color because each car comes slightly different from the factory and ideally requires paint match for an exact color match. Given the hood is such a big piece it's especially important.

Carbon Pattern Options

Woven 3k (default option):

Woven Carbon Fiber (Standard 2x2 or 3k) - the most common carbon fiber weave. 2x2 weave woven carbon fiber is the default if listing does not specify the pattern. Woven 3K carbon fiber is a lightweight and high-strength material made from bundles of 3,000 carbon filaments (referred to as "3K") that are woven into a fabric pattern, typically in a twill or plain weave. It offers excellent tensile strength, stiffness, and durability while maintaining a sleek, smooth appearance with a distinctive checkerboard pattern.

 

Forged (20% extra charge, made to order):

Forged carbon fiber - a composite material made from randomly arranged, short carbon fiber strands combined with resin and compressed in a mold. Forged carbon fiber offers greater design flexibility compared to 3K woven carbon fiber, as it can be molded into more complex shapes without compromising structural integrity. Its random fiber orientation reduces weak points caused by the directional patterns in 3K weaves, enhancing impact resistance. Additionally, it has a unique aesthetic appeal, with a marbled texture that stands out from the uniform weave of 3K carbon fiber.

 

Honeycomb Carbon (20% extra charge, made to order):

Honeycomb carbon fiber - combines woven 3K carbon fiber layers with a lightweight honeycomb weave, creating a sandwich structure that offers exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. This configuration provides excellent rigidity, impact resistance, and thermal insulation, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and high-performance sporting applications. The honeycomb weave significantly reduces material weight while maintaining strength, making it a preferred choice for lightweight structural components.

Additional Information 




About CMST Tuning



CMST Tuning uses Grade A one-piece carbon fiber sheets with a Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) skeleton for strength and durability (except on dry carbon products, since it is not needed). Because CMST Tuning uses one-piece sheets, so you will not see any broken lines or patterns. Rather, all you will notice is just one big consistent weave pattern. In addition to this, all CMST Tuning products use a strong clear coat finish. Clear coats are shiny and durable, and they give you the nice "wet" look as opposed to a duller look from gel coats. Lastly, all of CMST Tuning's carbon sheets are built into the mold, so they do not break and split like the ones where carbon is only wrapped around the skeleton.


Important Information:


-All CMST Tuning products come with a 6-month limited clear coat warranty.
CMST Tuning Parts, unless stated otherwise, may require re-use of some factory parts for a complete installation (for example, trunk lids, hoods for some applications will require re-using the factory license plate garnish)
To avoid pre-mature aging, it is important to keep your carbon fiber product clean. Minimize exposure to the sun, and wax when necessary. This is especially important for dry carbon products, which are sold RAW and need immediate protection upon receipt.
-For hoods, for legal purpose you may need to purchase some hood pins to ensure your new hood stays closed during high-speed or aggressive driving, even if your CMST Tuning hood features built-in latches.
Professional installation is always recommended if you are unsure of your abilities (make sure they check for fitment before starting the install). In some cases, drilling may be required.
-CMST Tuning parts are either made as " Vacuumed " carbon fiber. Wet carbon fiber has a shiny finish and is smooth. or made as "Pre-preg" carbon fiber, is often more pricy but does have a better strength to weight ratio. Pre-preg carbon also has slightly better weave quality, and is less prone to very minor defects.
Carbon fiber doors are strictly for off road and track use only, due to possible safety issues.
