Hey Everyone,
We found a car!! We actually already took it in, and are working on it right as we speak.
Along with the 4 piece body kit, expect to see a carbon trunk wing, carbon roof wing, and a set of Duraflex vented front fenders
To answer the question about why we need the OEM bumper. Yes, we do have bumpers that look like the AMG bumper, the Brabus bumper, etc. When creating a bumper though (especially one with this much work going into it), the weight of all that new fiberglass, resin, etc. takes its toll. The bumper becomes VERY heavy. If we were to work off of one of our bumpers the bumper would more than likely begin to sag which could cause the bumper to become distorted. If that happens, then we have fitment issues with the finished product. So, to avoid all of that, we use your stock bumper with all of its mounting points, and mounting brackets.
I will keep everyone updated on the progress of the kit.
