It would appear that Carlsson approved the Carlsson North America Limited Liability Corporation and they would be the importer /wholesaler to the distrobution channels they select unless they choose to be the sole retailer in NA with authorized installers.

Yep, that is Carlsson's new US distribution. We are not sure if we will chose to be a dealer or not. We were a finalist (down to 3 companies) but Carlsson chose to go another direction. While disappointed by the news, we wish the best for Andreas and his fine company. Hopefully this will at least mean stable pricing and reliable product distribution, as opposed to the flood of overly discounted and hard to get items up to this point.
Thanks
Brad

As you can read from my last post, we were obviously not flatly rejected as we were a finalist.

Ben: Brad said a few hours ago that "....We are not sure if we will chose to be a dealer or not......" and now you guys are talking pre-orders? What can be ordered if you have yet chosen to become a dealer?

Come on Harris, if Brad said we weren't sure whether we would be a dealer, and later I said we are taking preorders, what do you think happened in between posts?
Randall, many of the parts have been available for several months, and were awaiting a US presence to be established prior to being imported. We will be working very closely with Carlsson NA in both the exterior (wheels, body kits and interior styling), as well as helping to bring forth their performance parts to the US market.
Thanks,
Ben

Well, personally, I have been looking forward to a Carlsson NA setup for years. Now it finally happened, I am extremely excited. But seems like you guys can get Carlsson stuff sooner than Carlsson NA does. Thats why I am just being curious. I need a set of Carlsson 1/16 19" Brilliant Edition desparately, any idea when can you have it?

Ben:
I actually have been following up with Carlsson.
As a matter of fact, I have placed an order for 1 each of W203, W210 bumper kits, 19 and 20" UL and BE wheels (1 set each in each size in various select designs, inlcuding the 1/16 - totalling just 5 sets) and other small accessories which I simply wanted to keep in stock, and fulfill a few orders for customers.
It was ordered since late April and still to no avail.
If you can get the products, I am more than happy to perhaps refer our "order-confirmed" customers to you.
Let me know.
