Mercedes Benz W198 300SL Roadster Carbon Fiber Front Hood Bonnet

Description

A Legend, Reimagined in Carbon.

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster (W198) is more than a car — it’s a masterpiece of post-war automotive design. DMC’s Prepreg Carbon Fiber Front Hood preserves the exact lines of the original while introducing modern lightweight engineering to enhance both performance and preservation.

Crafted on converted original Mercedes-Benz molds, each bonnet is a 1:1 OEM-geometry reproduction, ensuring precise fitment, flawless symmetry, and authentic mounting points.

Why Replace Your Original Hood

 

1. Restoration Without Compromise

Over decades, steel hoods are vulnerable to corrosion, distortion, or heavy filler from past repairs. Our carbon fiber hood returns your 300SL to its exact factory profile, offering a rust-free and dimensionally stable upgrade.

2. Performance Advantage

The lightweight carbon construction reduces front-end mass, improving steering feel, weight distribution, and braking response — all while keeping the visual integrity of the 300SL intact.

3. Contemporary Elegance, Timeless Lines

Choose between a paint-ready OEM finish for concours-correct restorations or a visible carbon weave in gloss or satin for a modern yet discreet accent.
