Young, did you get that list directly from Renntech? If so, from whom?

I think that I hear their steering wheel and shift knob calling my name. I hope the knob comes with the replacement boot as well.

I don't know about that steering wheel.

It looks sweet, but high end steering wheels are covered with leather for a reason. At least the Decal set doesn't decrease the vehicle performance or the driver's control.

I'd prefer to see a two-tone leather treatment for the steering wheel.

$200 for an air filter? I think that's a little far-fetched. Same with the sway bars and brakes. Brembo's are about $600 cheaper.

When talking with Ken from RENNtech on Saturday, he claimed that RENNtech does all the mercedes brake designs for brembo. I'm having a hard time believing that one.

From the renntech pictures, it looks like it has a different front spoiler. It looks like it flares out from the near the fog lights. Am I wrong??

The Brembo kits that are Renntech sells, are there own standard and are not available from Brembo directly. The 600.00 cheaper set is just that 600.00 cheaper set.

i think you're right. that was the first thing i noticed when i saw the renntech pics. it looks like they put on larger corner splitters, or put a new bumper on. i wonder if they sell replacement splitters, that is if the oem ones come off?

crap, my reply didn't go thru... again...

anyway, i emailed bob brady about the pricing of some of the items. specifically, the aluminum trim kit which is $2k. i politely asked if the decimal point was misplaced. should it be $200. apparently, it is not misplaced. according to bob, just like the oem steering wheel costs $400, and the RT wheel costs $1200, i have to pay for quality items.

i think benzo said that the price of the wood oem kit was $300? (is that right?) if so, the $2k seems very overinflated. btw, benzo, the pics vince put up is where i saw it first.

i can't question the cost of some of the actual tuning prices. the wheels seem priced ok. but for cosmetic pieces, i wonder what the gross figures are for selling 0 interior kits @ $2000? (rhetorical) i mean, is that price accordingly calculated for the market segment it is in? i know, noone's making me buy it. and i should get to like my current trim
