Poor little coupe. It didn't do anything to deserve that.

The rear wing is sold for $581.00USD but i think i can get it cheaper than that. I want to start a group buy for their kits but i just want to see what kind of interest there is and i want to make sure that i'm allowed to do that in here. Once i hear confirmation that i am allowed i will let everyone know.

USD581 for a rear wing????? Isnt that on the expensive side??? Even with a 30% discount, still USD400. Some of their bodykits are okay, but some are "overdone".

All of their mods have centre exhaust. I guess thats one of their signature design.

Wheels look like in the side of a watch.... Only car i can think of that I like with a middle exhaust is a boxster The spoiler is okay but I dunno about having that kind of spoiler on a hatchback. I kinda like the side panels and I like the front kit. The lines seem to cut up the smoothness of the coupe so I don't really like it overall.

I hate to say it but the Coupe looks absoultley terrible. I've seen a few kits that look ok but for the most part adding a spolier to the coupe only makes it look weirder from the back than it already does. Don't get me wrong, I love my coupe, but the back end might already seem a little high to some people. The sedan looks ok but still not near as good as an OEM Mercedes AMG sports package would.

Wow... $900 CND not even including shippin yet... I like the wing too, but won't pay $1200 CND to get it shipped, painted and installed.

There is a group buy for the Rentech spoiler, which for $340 USD ( $550 CND ) isn't that bad a deal, but just doesn't add the flare that would justify $550 to me.

Yeah they are pretty expensive, i just wanted to get a feel of what ppl thought about the style of the kits. I just came across them a while ago. I also just got a hold of WALD USA to, they are another company that makes kits.

No offense here. But are you a distributer or seller for these? Anything at all to do with these companies? The pricing seems high and that is prior to install and painting. I realise that aftermarket tuner parts are high and exclusivity is the key here.

I think I wouldn't worry too much about the opinion of others. If you like it and want it on your car then I would just go for it.

Just my $0.02

I think the kit looks okay. At least this one doesn't make your car looks like a freaking Lexus/Toyota.

Please try to be more careful and remember to DETACH the air hose from the steroid pump before taking pics of our beloved coupe.

I like the front lip on the sedan better. I just wonder why they made the coupe so...un-nervingly....different?

Actually i have a shop and was considering carrying this line for aerodyanmics, but it's expensive for me to carry this product line so i thought i'd get some feed back before i made any decision.

I was considering it for my car as well but i think i might stick with BRABUS kit.
