Parts prices for SL65 AMG Black Series

At first I thought I was seeing things. So, hood is MSRP $47,260

, I know it's carbon fiber, but still. Fenders are $11,960 each, at $7,540 front bumber seems like a bargain.

I think Mercedes is doing that so that regular SL owners won't try to retrofit those parts on their cars.

And sorry if those are old news, had to post it

yep, that's what happen when you own a car of limited production. not to mention CF is becoming a scarcity.

I blame Boeing for taking orders on 850 Carbon fiber 787 jets...

^ look at that cockpit

. I bet pilots will get more kick out of flying that thing then passengers in the actual plane.
