I really hope the boxes are going to be made out of carbon fiber too. Seriously? It's been almost an entire month since you just kept us waiting without a single update after this evidently false post. What happened to a week? As a business point of view, Not cool. I hate complaining and nagging, but I also hate not getting any consideration. If you hit a road bump, which you did, let us know. You wouldn't like if you made these parts and then no one in the group buy paid, and you have no idea when you're going to get it. Just let us know where our monetary investment in your company is going so far. It's not the waiting, it's about the courtesy and telling us something

CL55 AMG
Since this is the most active thread discussing ET’s Carbon Fiber Products I figure you Geniuses would have my answers to my installation question. Oh by the way ET’s already placed the Fiber Side Skirts on their Web site as a soon to come for sale.
Anyway I purchased the Rear Diffuser and Front Lip for my 03 CL55 AMG.

I am ready to install and per ET’s written Instruction it say to remove (Pry Off) the Black Piece on the rear bumper. I believe it’s all one piece, I don’t see a seam. Is this only on 03 and back CL55 AMG’s? If anyone encountered this problem could you please responded to my thread and tell me how you solved it.

Since ET’s has no You Tube Video I plan to film and post it myself. It will be complete step by step. Research comes first, so any replies would help.

This is the little black piece you have to remove to install the diffuser. It's a plastic thing that you will have to rip off and possibly break no matter how carefully you try to remove it. This is my dad helping me remove it






There are plastic clip things that hold the plastic piece in place at both ends. Cut it using that tool (I forget the name....its on the tip of my tongue too)





This is how your bumper should look like after the piece has been removed



This is installed. I had to install two screws to hold the diffuser in place. Right above the exhausts, where I cut the old plastic clip thingy.





Hope this helped...

i wish i can get Neal back but we are still in good hands! i think we had spoken and told Jin how we all feel but thats all we can do. hopefully euroteck will fix the problem cause they are a great company and does great work/products. all we are asking is for communcation and updates. delays are normal and we can live with it. i was a bit exicted 3 weeks ago when the boxes was been order for shippment but i'll just wait and hope this group buy will get done before summers over.

Jin, if or when you send out the first couple of side skrit. would i be one of the person receiving it first. thanks

I examined the bumper this morning, there no seam and were the *black *paint meets the silver paint the black paint has faded exposing silver color paint. Now where the clips you cut are are there are two holes. *Could have it been removed already ?*

Aldin (zneB-sedcreM) will be shipping out this week, along with a set to one of our dealers out to California to test fit. Once these two arrive safely and are installed the 3rd one will be shipped out to Kenny (KenPho10)

Once these 3 are fitted and installed, we will begin production on the last 8 units. I do sincerely apologize for the delays, we have been working non-stop to keep up with production on our current items along with building molds for us current projects.

Cool. I can't wait to receive them. I will install them the same day they arrive, no doubt. I hope they get here safely. Please package them extremely carefully as there was an issue with the carbon fiber spoiler last time in the mail, and I'd hate for something like that to happen again. Are there any pics of the finished product? I'm sure they look awesome.
And I completely understand you guys are busy. I too work in owning a company and know the stress and delays that can come up and trying to always make everyone happy. Most of us in this group buy know the brilliance of the Euroteck brand. That's why most of us are repeat customers. I definitely believe in you guys and your products. We just love to get updates with a custom process like this, can you blame us lol

That s*uck that I got bump to 3rd on the list for someone who started the group buy in the first place. Hopefully I don't have to wait so long cause I have 2 set order for this group buy.

Hey there

I still haven't received a tracking number. Was I supposed to get it by now or have they not even been shipped out yet?

Thank you

Man, this group buy is turning out to be like the rear diffuser group buy on the cls forum. Lots of promise but nothing happen and a response every couple week. Hopefully this wont be my last group buy with euroteck. Euroteck makes some of the best carbon fiber stuff out there but they slip in term of services. Just my two cent.

I have a photoshoot ready with a photographer and model and everything. I don't want to do it without these side skirts. It just sucks, it's on hold because of them. I have no idea when to expect them by either, that's the worst part. Especially since another week went by and they haven't even been sent out yet I take it. I'd rather not get anything told to me, rather than a false date I'm going to receive them. That just makes people a little frustrated, because you expect them a certain time and tell people you'll get them at a certain time. Then the certain time comes, and nothing.

Sorry , but euroteck was not like this when Neal was running the group buy project. Their product is worth every penny I pay for. Running a business is not easy but if you say something , it should be done and no excuse after excuse. Sign of a Bad business.

As for 559cl55amg, I hope you don't buy or own any product from euroteck. Cause all you do is talk them down even thou you don't own a single product from them. If you are a part of this group buy or any from euroteck, I welcome your input but if not lets keep it to yourself.

You didn't make it on the list of 10 people. That's why you don't buy from Euroteck.

Look dude I could of bought the 10 slots and could
Of told Neal that to *** you guys out! But nah I'm cool. For these reasons. They take their sweet time. It's incredible to believe that you guys are still waiting. Wow!!! A little constructive critism makes you/company better. I'm speaking up for you winers, which includes you. Eurotek a bit more accurate timing could help and keep your customers informed. I saw updates every month and Alot of winers!
