I guess it depends on what your end goal is. I'm currently going thru the 3D scanning process on another c63 related project 
and I'm pretty sure it would be cost prohibitive to scan these in.
Conversely, for a body shop to create fiberglass molds for a one-off it would get to be about the same if not more for them than just fabricating out of metal. Although there are only 6 pieces, it looks to be comprised of 14 molds.
However, if you plan on duplicating to sell in the US then you'd be good to go. Having talked to my HMS contact last night, it looks like they may be having a change of heart when it comes to shipping these to the States. So all of that effort may not even be worth it.

Dang that sucks. Ruckin looks like he might have purchased a set based on his response in this thread. I also msg'd my HMS contact via FB a few days ago and he said he would be ok with me passing his info along.

What kind of offset am I looking at for 19x10? I'm currently lowered on H&R springs and sometimes on hard bumps there's a slight rub in the rear. I'm currently running 19x9.5 et50 with Yoko AD08 265/30. Trying to avoid any rubbing issues. Can't wait to see your car finished!

I'm not sure, I was planning on figuring that out until I was closer to dropping the car off at the body shop. Did you manage to order the fenders from HMS?

YES! We're going to have a little HMS Bootylicous mafia going on. You guys may beat me to the install. I need to get my suspension setup in as well as wheels!

Nope, my fun money got redirected to family stuff. Otherwise, I've been working with a local shop on setting up timing because I'd like to do the air ride, wheels and body work all at the same time. More than likely, it'll be in the winter/spring you'll see the car complete.
