Not the six grand, the body kit is insane. If you really want to make a statement and money is no object, go to Newport Convertible Engineering and have them make this for ya.

yes six grand for a Sport coupe body kit is very high, although it is a very good looking kit I guess it is just a matter of what you like best

'02 C230K Coupe
Wow! Very interesting convertible mod. Looks like it matches the car well too. Probably what sets this apart from most other convertibles is that there's actually room in the back.

i have a intresting question about the convertible C230K,
You know under our rear window we have the plastic window that allows us to see in the car but not the trunk. With the convertible there would be no need for the trunk cover since its not a hatchback. So can u see in the trunk threw that peice of glass/plastic?

I would think that would come in handy if you got locked up in there, at least you can see if people are coming to free you.

Yeah renntech is very expensive with everything. But the kit is out of control.

my god. after it's painted and installed, it'll be almost 8k. that's about 1/3 the cost of a stock c230k! that's just spending way too much for a 230k.

Yes, the body kit is very nice, but spending 6k, or even 8k for that matter on something as simple as a body kit is ridiculous on a C230k, no offense .

C230k
It's going to take alot of work to make it blend seamlessly with the car. The kit is actually glued on and must be applied carefully so that the glue seams don't show. It'd be awesome if you took it one step further and actually molded it into the mody to remove the obvious hint that a kit was added.

Is this the body kit that you have to pay for $6000?.......
This is just my opinion....looks nice but I think the price is way too steep.... AMG kit looks better for me with only $2000....just my 2 cents

the body kit in that picture makes the c230k look like a VW beetle.

Congrats on the body kit, it'll be pretty unique. I think the kit looks nice, it's just the color of the car we keep posting doesnt fit well with it.
Also, i know its expensive cuz there is a lot more parts needed for the kit so 6 grand seems reasonable....i think. (personally, benz kits are expensive compared to the 500 dollar kits others spend on thier hondas). AMG kits go for 2000-3000 and offers front, rear and sides. Renn tech has fenders and a design on the back side rite??? Just post pic when done.

Are you sure that is a good idea? You're spending 6 grand alone on a body kit, it only makes sense to pay to get it professionally installed, that is unless you know exactly what you're doing.

You mean it's not peel and stick tape and stick on like other body panel additions?

It is, but this one is extremely hard to put on perfectly, and it doesn't look good unless it is molded in with the actual body.
