The entire piece will be made out of carbon fiber, yes.

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.

You technically didn't use links, correct?

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.

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

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 and those are all urethane bumpers. Just wanted to put things in perspective.

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

Definitely. I do hope we can get more than 6 to drop the price, but I'm down for whatever. It won't be cheap, this isn't a "cheap" part and the car that it's going on isn't a cheap car. Exactly, anyone with a CLS can go to Brabus and pay upwards of $3,000 for their plastic bumper. After this, no one will be able to have a carbon fiber custom front bumper for the CL. It all comes down to how much you really like your car and if being unique matters to you.

Not sure what was used, I just know it went through the Benzworkz treatment and it came out perfect. Never asked what he used to lower it...

I'm gonna call them again and keep complaining cause this is straight BS

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.

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.

For your and everyone else's edification, the First Amendment only applies to government restriction on speech. This forum is a private organization; the freedom from governmental action on restricting speech as described in the First Amendment does not apply.

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

This post ended the short-lived probation. You are now banned and future similar posts by any screen named member will result in similar action.
