So now that's possibly:
1. zneB-sedecreM
2. kenpho10
3. pman
4. JDS28
5. JPhamily (?)
6. 559cl55amg (?)
Regardless of what the photoshop looks like, it will look better than a stock OEM bumper, for sure.

I would love to speak to this warranty company, and hear them explain how the car being lowered could have caused your ABC pump to fail...a55holes.

Former Vendor of MBWorld
I think we should wait and see if we can get more members on board. set a dead line like we did with the othe group buys, 1 month from today. $1800 is much better then $3600! I think we have 7-8 members that has been part of every group buy for the w215 so far and a few of those members only come on the forum once in a while. To me it's cool that it would be limited edition but driving and seeing another member have it is priceless. What's the chance of any of the group buy member seeing each other on the road. 49 states is a lot of road to cover.
Although I must agree with everyone, it is by no means a cheap item. To help ease the pain, I will say that the Brabus Rocket, Techart Type II and Mansory bumpers are all in the $3,000 and up range and are not limited to 5 or 10

I really really want one but can it be fiber glass atleast?? Reason is that my car is silver, a blk cf nose don't think will look nice. Cf in my opinion should not be painted. Painting it would totally defeat it's purpose.

Are you serious? Carbon fiber IN YOUR OPINION should not be painted?? Have you ever seen a Ferrari Enzo? That whole body is primarily made out of carbon fiber, but then every panel gets painted. Carbon fiber gets painted all the time. Did you READ that if he does it out of fiber glass/plastic, it'll cost MORE for a Limited Edition peice? You don't have to participate in this group buy you know. You don't like waiting either, so this GB probably isn't for you tbh

Sure! we can set the deadline to October 14th...

and those are all urethane bumpers. Just wanted to put things in perspective. ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

The customer is always right!!
POSTED BEFORE MOD DELETES
"The customer is always right!!"
I know nothing of the current brew ha, but as an independent business owner with almost 35 year of experience dealing with consumers, I have to say that "The customer is always right!!" is simply not true.
Most customers expect what they are promised and no more. And if a problem occurs, that it be handled in a professional and timely manner.
And then there are others, who have unreasonable expectations. They wish to make their problem, whether it be budget, time constrains, or **** perfectionism, into someone else's problem. Namely the service provider.
When a customer is so unreasonable that I feel we are better off without their business, I have from time to time have found it necessary to "fire" a customer. It's quite simple really. I just state that I am sorry that myself or my staff have been unable to meet their expectations and that we must agree to disagree and part company. And I wish them good luck finding what they are looking for, end of story.
As for a supplier providing an item unavailable elsewhere, what does it matter how or where he creates it or commissions it to be made? Artists have reproductions of their creations made by others all the time and no one accuses them of fraud.

This thread had significantly deteriorated with inappropriate behavior, uncivil language, name-calling, and other language which is not acceptable. Those posts have been deleted. If you wish to post on this thread, bring a constructive attitude, whether you agree or disagree on any particular issue, or feel free to remain silent. Continued poor behavior by the same posters will be taken to the next level. Thank you.

I am also sorry you felt the need to repost with name calling. I've deleted the post again, but noted at least two occurrences of calling "stupid". If you cannot post without name calling or other uncivil comments, your now current probation will be escalated to suspension. Agreement or disagreement are both fine, but must be done constructively and in a civil manner without insult or ethnic/racial mocking. Please consider your next steps carefully.

Ok that's fine. I will repost again without racial or offensive remarks. Please be aware that you are violating the first amendment. Regardless of your terms.

Don't you know that I can open as a new user and email and repost. There's no way around this moderator. My job now is to ruin reputation. People should be careful with who they mess with.

Now, let's move on and get back on topic in a constructive, polite, and civil manner.
