Hi Mbhustla858,

The reason why you can go with us is that we can offer you Renntech products at a special price and we are the Northern California authorized service center for their products. We also carry other aero and suspension parts for your C43. Thank you for your time.

Hi Teck,

Would you kindly provide me with the shipping address so I can submit it to Renntech for the freight quote? Thanks.

sorry to hijack this thread, however, I called 3 separate times in the last 3 weeks and left my phone number all 3 times with a Kronen employee who was supposed to get back to me about a CL-style grill for my W208.

I finally gave up and bought it from another sponsor of this forum.

With that type of poor customer service, you will find it extremely difficult to sell product to any local customer.

I've looked for months here and there and haven't found one for the C43. I've dreamed of a CF front lip for my car. You will find them for W202's but for the non-amg bumpers.

There's a guy back east working on a CF engine cover for me. I wonder if we could convince him to fabricate a lip too. It wouldn't be as easy since there's no source for a mold, but he does a lot of custom work and could probably pull it off. I'll ping him today.

I need get my front bumper repainted from road rash this winter when the car is put away. If us C43-er's can put together a group deal I could part with my bumper through the winter months for R&D.

I've conveyed the message. The question being asked is if there's a style or existing part we like that it could be modeled after. For example, are we looking for an older Evo style or something more like the new C32/55 front lip?
Myself, I'm thinking something subtle and not too low since the front scrapes occasionally as it is.

well, art (I am going to assume he is one of the partners), PM'd me and asked if I was who he thinks I am, and of course, I PM'd him back.

In my PM, I gave him another chance to make up for his employees screw ups and asked him to give me a price quote on some I-forged, DPE, DCR, or HRE rims. I didn't include my e-mail address, but anybody can click on my user info and ALL my contact info is listed.

Anyways, he PM'd me back and asked for my e-mail addy, which I told him he could find under my user ID, AND I also included my e-mail addy in the PM as well.

It has been 3 days now, and I've heard absolutely NOTHING from him.

FWIW: I had my pulley kit installed by Kronen and purchased my RENNtech parts from them. Never had any communication issues, the pricing was fair and the service excellent.

I would like to see a C32 style. I would also like to see a way to duct more air to the front brakes from this piece-that's not asking alot is it?

I actually received a call from Art, the owner of Kronen, and he invited me over to the shop. When I got there, I realized that I knew Art from when I had my CLK430 a few years back. At his old shop, I actually bought my first set of 19" Lorinser LM-1's, and he also lowered my car w/ H&R's and bilsteins.

When I was there today, Art actually gave me some great price quotes on a Renntech stage 2 supercharger kit, which I'm probably going to get installed in a few weeks.......so the rims will have to wait a bit.

Anyways, I am posting this because I wanted to clear up my previous post due to a few misunderstandings. I can highly recommend Art and Kronen Tuning, as I have done business w/ Art before, and he has given me great prices and great customer service =)

that's something you will have to discuss with Art himself. (510)687-9201. Give him a call.

Smile Renntech CF Airbox

Let me clarify this, we were not the vendor who had sold the CF airbox to VRus. We are a authorized Renntech dealer and we only sell authentic MBZ performance upgrades and accessories. It was unfortunate that he had that incident and I am sorry that VRus has to go through that kind of situation. I am not sure why he had received such a product like that but I surely hope that he can get it resolved through his vendor who had taken his order. I am confident that Renntech will resolve this problem, and I can assure this must have been a mistake. We not only sell and install Renntech products but from our experience, they do offer great technical support and customer service. I personally use their products on my SL55 and the CF airbox is clearly of a different design which improves the airflow.

Art@Kronen: Ignore that post. Somebody had alot of free time yesterday to come on here and post off beat threads in many of these forums. If that person had our phone numbers they would be calling up and breathing into the phone.
